Memorize and Reflect

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)


Prayer Direction

Take time in the coming week to pray for: • A humble heart to really hear about the areas you need to grow spiritually • Courage to take significant steps of growth in areas of spiritual immaturity • Willingness to have someone pray for you and keep you accountable in areas you need to grow


“Live It!” Challenge

Thirty-Day Journal: Get a journal or start a file in your computer or on a device. Write down one area of insight each day for thirty days. Focus on two things: 1) An area you are growing spiritually…and celebrate; 2) An area you can take one practical step forward in your spiritual growth. At the end of thirty-days, celebrate the steps forward you have taken in becoming more who Jesus wants you to be.
