Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Our Scripture Focus is Proverbs 15:31. Try memorizing it this week!
Today’s reading is from Proverbs 10:13-14, 18-21, 31-32, Proverbs 13:2-3 & Proverbs 15:1-2
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
Why do our words carry so much weight? What is it about the way God made us that gives power to words? Remember how God created the world - with a word. Perhaps there is something in that truth. Proverbs 18:21 says our words can give life and take life. They can bring light or add darkness. How have you given light and life with your words? How have you spoken death and darkness? Is there a situation or person in your life where you need to give a gentle answer? Our words matter. Pay careful attention to your words today, and see what wisdom these proverbs have for you.
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a lifegroup/church friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations. Pick one each day or pray through them all every day.
CONNECT. Have a question, prayer request, or story? Let us know here or reply via text.
SHARE. Invite a friend to read the Focus with you! Just text “FOCUS” to (586) 200-6277.

Run the race with endurance today, and stay focused on Jesus.
Make it a Great One!
