Memory Verse

(Review last week's verse:) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8


Prayer Journal (ACTS)

• Adoration - This week take time each day to praise God for being the Provider.
• Confession - Ask God to reveal hidden sin in your life and then confess it.
• Thanksgiving - Thank God for your home.
• Supplication - What are your prayer requests this week? List them for future reference so that you can see how God answers.

Search the Scriptures

Look for references for each of the following:

• Promises that God made and to whom He made them. Do they apply to you?
• References that either refer to or infer something about future events.
• What does this passage teach about Jesus?
• Commandments that God made and to whom He made them. Do they apply to you?

Putting the Word into Action

Caleb is one of those men who believed the promises of God even though he was part of the minority. (Only Joshua agreed with Caleb's assessment as one of the original 12 to spy out the land of Canaan.)  As a result God rewarded Caleb. Take some time this week to read about other real-life heroes of the faith (more modern ones). Nothing helps motivate us toward good works than to see what other Christians did and how they were blessed for their efforts.
