Psalms 119:105-128. Verse 105, what darkness am I struggling against right now? In what way do I need to experience God’s light to see by and walk by?
Zechariah 12:1-14. Verses 8-10, if God intends his people’s story always to mingle victory and mourning, not just for 520 BC and 33 AD, what should that look like for me and my church in 2021?
John 13:1-30. Verse 14, in my present life from day to day, how can I specifically wash others’ feet and submit to their washing mine?
Matthew 26:17-56. Verse 39, what matter of concern am I currently facing where God is waiting for me to utter Jesus’ great prayer, “Your will, not mine”?
