Lord,
How quickly we are to rebel from you! How quickly our hearts turn to other gods, pleasures, or temptations! Even as the Israelites are freed from bondage, they quickly turn to worship idols of gold. How quickly they forget and neglect your provision.
Lord, I know I am often like them. I praise you in the midst of provision only to quickly turn towards temptations and idols. Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me for the weakness of my flesh. Yet, I will not yield. I will not submit. For your Spirit lives within me. I need not rely on sacrifices of atonement. I need no ritual cleansing for I have something better. We have something better.
Praise you, Lord for Jesus. Praise you for knowing long before we were here that we would need a savior; an answer to perfect peace; an answer to perfect love. Even before the need arose, you anticipated our needs like the perfect father you are.
I submit my whole self to you Lord.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
