Psalms 69:1-36. Verse 9, what would it look like if I had more zeal for God? What attitudes and actions on my part would express that?
Isaiah 30:1-33. Verse 15, God offers me returning and rest, quietness and confidence. If I accept it today, how will my life change?
Revelation 9:1-12. Monstrous locusts swarm out of the bottomless pit. Verse 4, for protection, how can I obtain the seal of God in my forehead?
Luke 22:14-23. Do I take the Eucharist, the Lord’s supper, as seriously as Jesus intends me to? What’s at stake?
