Reading God’s Word: Mark 12:41-13:23; Psalm 39:7-13

Memorizing God’s Word: Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Meditating on God’s Word: Mark 13:13 Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Praying God’s Word: God we so much want to be loved, yet that is not the metric of a Christ Follower. You warn us that we will be hated, and persecuted. May we not shy from this or fear this. You declare the promise that we will be saved, even in great peril. May we have the same courage to declare Your Name and Your truth, even when facing our aggressors, Amen.
