Psalms 20:1-9. Verse 5, what word or thought or symbol is on my banner as a servant of the living God?
Proverbs 4:1-27. Verse 23, when have I failed to keep my heart in close touch with God? What was the consequence? Application to present needs?
Romans 11:11-21. How do attitudes of self-satisfaction and spiritual pride, offensive to God, sometimes worm their way into my Christian walk?
Matthew 4:1-11. Jesus repels Satan’s temptations with God’s word from Scripture. What’s one Bible verse I can take as my shield and sword for today?
