Psalms 107:1-43. Verse 20, what work of healing do I need to see from God today? Do I appeal to him with faith or with doubt?
Genesis 44:1-34.Verses 7 and 17, Joseph and Judah tell each other, “God forbid.” In what particular way do I want to see my family draw nearer each other this year by drawing nearer God?
Romans 1:16-32. Verse 25, how does the temptation sneak up on me to worship created things instead of the Creator himself? Action point for today?
Matthew 16:1-4. Why is it necessary for me to discern the signs of the times in order to be a faithful follower of Jesus? How am I doing?
