Scripture invites us to be humble before God, to remember who we are and who God is. The pattern for the month will be very simple. Begin each day with a short prayer asking God to help you live according to the ways of his kingdom. Set aside a few minutes to read and reflect on each day’s scripture (listed below.) As you read, ask yourself three questions:
- What does this passage say about God?
- What does this passage say about people?
- If this is God’s Word, what step do I need to take today?
Lastly, tell someone (anyone) about the step you want to take.
