Day 1 of 7

Temperament

Psalm 2:11

11Serve the Lord with fear;

tremble

David, the writer of most of the Psalms, knew how to get God’s attention. David wanted to honor God in everything he did. At one point, David said he wanted to hide God’s Word in his heart so he wouldn’t be tempted to sin. We can take David’s lead and honor God in everything we do.

Getting the most from God's Word

As you embark on this Journey, here are four steps to invite God's Word to challenge and encourage you.

  1. Pray

    Pray with focus and openness to see what God has for you. God, connect with me here, as I seek You in your Word.

  2. Read

    Read the selected section of scripture slowly. Take note of intriguing words and phrases. Read them a second time.

  3. Reflect

    Reflect on what strikes you as you read. What does this passage of Scripture teach you about God's values?

  4. Respond

    Respond to the passage. Speak to God directly about what's on your mind and hear. Look for ways to live out what you've uncovered.
