Heavenly Father, what a lesson to learn that nothing should be allowed to compete with Christ’s exalted position in my life, and no one should ever be elevated above the Lord Jesus. Thank You for the many lessons I can learn from the history of Israel, the things to avoid, the way to behave, the need to trust Your Word, the importance to hold fast to the truth, and the blessing to be guided by Your Spirit. I pray that, day by day, I would learn from these lessons and live my life to Your glory and honour. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
