Memorize and Reflect

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. (Lamentations 3:40)


Prayer Direction

Take time in the coming week to pray for: • The power of God’s Holy Spirit to fill you and give you a new passion for the Bible • Awareness of where the enemy is seeking to attack your life or those you love • Discipline to read the Bible, know the truth of God’s Word, and follow it with passion


“Live It!” Challenge

My Next Step of Bible Study: As we come to the end of this four-week series on Biblical Engagement, commit to a next step. Write out a personal Bible study plan (What will you read in the Bible, what other resources can you use to develop your learning, and how will you record your learning). Then, share this with one or two people who can pray for you and check in on how you are doing with this commitment.
