But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. 24They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’

I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.

the wicked are not purged out. 30They are called rejected silver, because the Lord has rejected them.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me near and open my heart to only know you. Protect me from my sinful desires and allow your Peace to overwhelm my ways so I may know you and live by your design. Place your shield between my and the wicked ways around me, call me your own.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
