Self inflicted

‘This holy anointing oil is reserved for me from generation to generation. 32It must never be used to anoint anyone else, and you must never make any blend like it for yourselves.

Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy.

“Come on,” they said, “make us some gods who can lead us. We don’t know what happened to this fellow Moses, who brought us here from the land of Egypt.”

 They are saying, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

But Moses tried to pacify the Lord his God. “O Lord!” he said. “Why are you so angry with your own people whom you brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and such a strong hand? 12Why let the Egyptians say, ‘Their God rescued them with the evil intention of slaughtering them in the mountains and wiping them from the face of the earth’? Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people! 

Lord God my Father,

Purify me, show me the way to turn my back on my sinful nature. Give me discernment to see the false gods in my life. I beg forgiveness from you and pray for your path to be the only one before me. Rescue me from my self.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
