Psalms 18:1-50. Verses 16 and 17, what deep waters do I need God to rescue me from today? From what strong enemy do I need him deliver me?
I Chronicles 14:1-15. Verse 11, King Asa recognizes that we’re never outnumbered when we’re on God’s side. Application to present needs?
Malachi 1:9-14. How may I be tempted to offer God my second best today? What’s at stake?
Luke 20:45-21:6. Related, Jesus commends a poor widow for giving God her all. What would it look like today for me to give sacrificially for love of God and neighbor? What measures this, beside money?
