If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, 8but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom, 10but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless it as I said I would.

He gave justice and help to the poor and needy,
and everything went well for him.
Isn’t that what it means to know me?”
says the Lord.

Lord God my Father,
You are in control, you are in charge, why do I struggle with you. Lord help me to only follow you, bless my thoughts and actions so I may bring you glory. May I bless those around me with your truth, open the hearts of your people.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
