Psalms 119:129-176. Verse 176, in what way am I like a lost sheep? As God comes seeking me today, how will I be aware of that, and what does he expect of me?
I Kings 13:1-34. Israel’s new king quickly displeases God. As the political season intensifies, is my church doing all it can to exalt King Jesus?
Job 5:1-27. Verse 17, in what way am I experiencing God’s correction during the present chapter of my life? How can I show him my gratitude today?
Mark 15:42-47. Joseph, a prominent Jew and seeker of the kingdom, undertakes the burial of Jesus. What risk am I taking for our Lord right now? What would it look like to push that up a notch?
