Reading God’s Word: Matthew 7:13–20, Psalm 16

Memorizing God’s Word: Matthew 6:21, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Meditating on God’s Word: Psalm 16:11, You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Praying God’s Word: “Lord, when I gave my life to you, my journey on the path of life began. When daily I spend time in your presence and walk in step with you, I am filled with joy. When I am filled with joy, life takes on a meaning that was not there before my encounter with you. It really is a marvelous change of direction and purpose! So why do so many reject this gift, that you so freely give? ‘Narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it’ (Matthew 7:14). The fruit of my life invites others to walk this path with me so as I pray for others, may I also pray for the pruning and growth of the fruit within me (Galatians 5:22-23). Amen.”
