Reading God’s Word: Matthew 3:1-12; Psalm 5

Memorizing God’s Word: Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Meditating on God’s Word: Matthew 3:11  I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Praying God’s Word: “Lord, let your fire fall. We thank you for the promise that we WILL receive power from your Spirit. As we draw near to you this new year, let every day and each moment be led by your Holy Spirit. Amen.”
