Psalms 119:129-176. Verse 130 KJV, in my life right now, what is dark and in need of God’s light? What’s my role in letting in that light? What result am I looking for?
Jeremiah 17:1-27. Verses 5-8, going about this day, what specific choice do I face between trusting in human help and trusting in God’s help? Action point?
Romans 8:1-11. Verse 6, two opposite mindsets or worldviews. Applying the Christ-centered outlook to my work, family, health, or matters in the news, how does it tell me to proceed?
