Bible Monday 8/4: Born in Zion

Psalms 87:1-7. Verse 5, what wondrous possibilities are open to me today as the holder of a Zion birth certificate from God Most High?

Amos 5:1-27. Verse 4, seek me and live, says God.What does such seeking on my part look like?

Acts 21:15-25. Paul faces unrest and danger at Jerusalem. What is discipleship costing me at this time? Am I prepared for the cost to increase?

Mark 10:1-12. Who is the best example of Christian marriage (outside my own family) that I know of?
