Psalms 119:1-48. Verse 45, how does seeking God enable me to walk at liberty? What is liberty for, anyway? First step today?
I Samuel 12:1-25. Verse 23, Samuel worries about Israel but won’t cease praying for them. What specific worries do I have that I can set about turning into prayers right now?
Acts 5:12-21. Delivered from prison, the apostles resume doing the very preaching that got them arrested before. What is God asking of me at present that may not be easy or safe—but which glorifies him?
Mark 1:16-20. Related question, if I set out to be a fisher of men, how should I prepare and who exactly should I begin to fish for?
