Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons that we may learn from Israel's past history and Your long-suffering grace towards them. I pray that I may learn all that You would teach me from their past failures so that I may not repeat the mistakes of the past - but I pray, O Lord, that I may walk in integrity of heart and humility of spirit all the days of my life - for Your greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
