Psalms 19:1-14. Verse 14, what’s a practical approach for bringing under God’s judgment all that I say, think, and feel this day?
II Samuel 1:1-27. David mourns for Saul and Jonathan. When have I felt love and honor for someone despite their having ill used me? Why is this pleasing to God? Present application?
Acts 10:9-23. Peter learns that in Christ, things formerly unclean are made clean. What’s the lesson for me in everyday life?
Mark 6:1-6. “Isn’t this the carpenter?” Have I allowed Jesus to become in some ways too familiar to me, so that I undervalue him or take him for granted?
