Day 279 Bible Reading: Jeremiah 7-8, Colossians 2, Psalm 77 and Proverbs 24:26 
Have you entered into any business transaction recently? The temptation of not paying full commission or cheating on the government tax is huge. What to do? Recognize that such sinful impulses are also a spiritual issue. Pray for a circumcision of the heart through Christ to get rid of such ungodly desires.
"In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ." – Colossians 2:11 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, circumcision symbolizes a cutting away or separation from sin and all that is unholy. I ask that Jesus please cut away my wish to rebel against God but to follow the common practice of the world. Impart in me an honest heart so I may have integrity. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
