Reading God’s Word: Matthew 4:23-5:12; Psalm 8
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 4:23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
Praying God’s Word: “Lord, forgive us for staying put when you have called us to go “throughout.” Jesus, give us your heart and passion for the people on the street. May our feet follow you to seek out the lost and the sick. Forgive us for loving the classroom more than we love our neighbors. Forgive us for singing the songs and refusing to heal the sick. Jesus, your kingdom is good news with great power. Convict us to be like you and spread it on the streets. Amen.”
