Passage:
1 While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. 2 These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.
(Numbers 25:1–3 ESV)
Song:
Keep My Eyes on Jesus by Kris Alon
Lyrics:
Jesus, I look to You
You’re where my help comes from
Jesus, You know just what I need
And when my soul is weak
Help my eyes to see
Jesus, you’re everything I need
So I’ll keep my eyes on Jesus
You’re the way, the truth, and life
When my spirit grows weak, yours washes over me
You are my victory
You are my everything
Prayer:
I ask you, my most gracious God, preserve me from the cares of this life, lest I should be too much entangled in them; and from the many necessities of the body, lest I should be ensnared by pleasure; and from whatsoever is an obstacle to the soul, lest, broken with troubles, I should be overthrown. Amen.
-Thomas à Kempis
