Follow UP in the Word through the Week…
Monday:
Read: Joshua 24:14, 15
It’s Monday. Choose this day whom you will serve.
Tuesday:
Read: 2 Chronicles 15:1-19
What did Asa have to do to follow the Lord and lead the nation to do the same?
Wednesday:
Read: 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
What was the report on the Thessalonians? How does or would that report look like if someone were writing a report on you?
Thursday:
Read: Numbers 14:3
Who is asking this question and what is the context of it? Who do they believe will suffer if they attempt to take the land?
Friday:
Read: Numbers 14:5-10
What kind of a stand did Caleb and Joshua take? Who did they take a stand against?
Saturday:
Read: Numbers 14:31-33
This is the Lord’s response to the question raised by the people in Numbers 14:3. What does the Lord promise in this verse? What do you draw from this verse when it comes to your family?
