They went after false idols and became
false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning
whom the Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them.
They went after the false and became false themselves. God help me.
I will become like what I worship, I will be as what I follow. Help me
to see, to pray, to intercede, to seek the true, the True. May I lose
myself in You and Your truth, never the false nor the deception.
They also feared the Lord and appointed from among themselves all
sorts of people as priests of the high places …. So they feared the Lord
but also served their own gods….
May I fear You, Lord, so that completely and deeply that I am not
able to serve a lesser god, my own god or any of the all sorts of
lower-case-g-o-ds that is set up and appointed. Only You. Only, ever
You. May I never dilute, dispute or recompute You. You are worthy.
