I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 9But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.
Murderers! Idolaters! Adulterers! Should the land belong to you?’
You drink the milk, wear the wool, and butcher the best animals, but you let your flocks starve.
You are my flock, the sheep of my pasture. You are my people, and I am your God. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”
Lord God, my Father,
You created me and gave me freedom to follow any path I may choose and in my youthful way I chose to ignore the path you created me for. Lord God, forgive me of my sinful way and deliver me from my past so I may live with you in the present. Hive me the desire to care for all you have blessed me with, to protect your glory from neglect on my part. I surrender my will, replace it with yours so I may care for the family and land you blessed me with. May I be the husband, father and caregiver that sines your will. May I take comfort in the fact that you are my shepherd, my protector.
In Jesus name,
Amen
