Watch and pray are used repeatedly in the scriptures. We know why we should pray always. But what should we watch for? Here are some things I found in the Bible.

This week we’re reading about the Last Supper and Gethsemene.

Jesus warned his disciples that following Him would not be easy.

Take time today to think about what you can give and who you can serve.

What are some things that help you to have the Holy Spirit in your life?

Are you seeing the signs? I’ve been thinking about this a lot this year. 

Changing my perspective from desperation to praise turned on the light of Christ for me. 

What does it mean to give unto God the things which are God’s?

I love that Zacchæus was so excited to see Jesus that he climbed up in a tree to see Him coming.

Finish out the challenge we read about the rest of Holy Week.

After Jesus cleanses the temple and curses a fig tree, He reminds His disciples to forgive.

Jesus wants to gather us and protect us. But we have to let go of pride and let Him gather us.

Loving God also helps us want to love people.

We have a little more than a month to go before Christmas, and we’re going to spend December reading about Holy Week. How cool is that?

How would a child receive the kingdom of God?

Even Jesus, the greatest King the world would ever know, came not to be served but to serve others.

God cares more about the faith you have at the end of the day and not what part of the day you began to have faith. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re just joining us now in week 9, reading the Bible daily through Christmas will bless your life.

I like to imagine that maybe this young man was sad that he would have to sell all that he had, but that eventually he did and came to follow Jesus. 

Reading this story I wondered how many times Jesus waits and lets us experience trials so He can show His power in our lives.

There is so much we take for granted that we can feel joy and thankfulness for if we stop and look around.
