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)

Keep My Eyes on Jesus by Kris Alon

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

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

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
