Give me an undivided heart, O God,
that I may walk in your truth
and revere your name.
When I harden my heart,
I make a fool of myself and
find
myself fighting against you;
help me attend to your word,
as Peter and John did
to Jesus'.

1 Sam. 6:6
"…Why
should you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their
hearts? After [the God of Israel] had
made fools of them, did [the Egyptians and Pharoah] not let the people go, and
they departed? …" [Advice to the Philistines from their priests
and diviners]
Acts 5:38-39
"…So in the
present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because
if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if
it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them--in that case you may even
be found fighting against God!”
[Gamaliel to the council]
Luke 22:10-11
"Listen,"
[Jesus] said to [Peter and John], "when you have entered the city, a man
carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house he enters and
say to the owner of the house, 'The teacher asks you, "Where is the guest
room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'" …"
