Psalms 91:1-16. Verse 11, what do I want God’s angels to do for me today? Is it realistic to hope they will do so, or mere wishful thinking?
II Samuel 23:1-23. Honor roll of King David’s mighty men. What persons has God placed in my life to lend strength, succor, and encouragement at the toughest times? How can I thank them today?
II Peter 2:1-11. In what disguise can I spot today’s false teachers who try to turn me away from the truth of Christ?
Mark 14:1-11. Related, how does the Judas temptation, the sneaky impulse to sell out Jesus, find its way into my thoughts and intentions? What’s my protection against this?
