Psalms 96:1-13. Verse 5, what are some idols that may subtly tempt me away from God today?
Genesis 39:1-23. Joseph framed by his master’s wife. When have I suffered a harsh injustice? How did God show up? Application for today?
Romans 2:17-29. Paul charges his fellow Jews with hypocrisy. When have I blatantly failed to live up to my professed faith in God? Have I undergone circumcision of the heart (verse 29)?
Matthew 12:1-8. Do I take the sabbath as seriously as God takes it?
