Psalms 119:89-128. Verse 127, by what action today can I prove that honoring God is more important to me than gold or money?
Isaiah 54:1-17. Verse 17, against what hurtful words or weapons do I claim God’s promise of protection today?
I Thessalonians 2:1-12. Verses 7 and 11, Christians aiding one another, sometimes with a nurse’s gentleness, sometimes with a father’s firmness. What opportunity can I find to practice this?
Matthew 24:1-14. Verse 12, how can I make sure my love, the distinguishing mark of Jesus’ followers, doesn’t go cold?
