Psalms 119:73-96. What specific actions and attitude on my part would most immediately gladden (verse 74) and attract (verse 79) others who love God as I profess to do?
Deuteronomy 34:1-12. Verse 7, how can I access more of the godly vitality that kept Moses going strong in old age? What should I do more of, and less of? First step?
Hebrews 12:12-17. Folly of Esau, contrasted to the faith heroes of Ch. 11. In what way am I susceptible to his impulsiveness and rash judgment? Prayer point?
Matthew 9:14-17. What is offered me, and asked of me, when Jesus declares himself our bridegroom? What difference can it make to me on this very day?
