This Week’s 3-Year Chronological Bible Reading Genesis 8 – 13 Matthew 1 – 2 *******************************************************************************   HUMILITY IS NOT THINKING LESS OF YOURSELF, BUT THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF LESS MONDAY – Mark 9:30-37 What would it mean for you to reflect 9:35-37 in your family? Your work? What is the surprising incentive to do so? Rich people trust their wealth to protect them. They think it’s like the high walls of a city (Proverbs 18:11).   TUESDAY – James 3:13-18 Why does “humility” “come from wisdom” (3:13)? What kind of wisdom? Pride in my accomplishments means God will take me down. Humility that only God can give means future honor from Him (Proverbs 18:12).   WEDNESDAY – Numbers 12:1-15             What do you think inspired Moses’ humility (12:3)? Check 20:12 and Exodus 2:12? Listen before you answer. It’s stupid and embarrassing for you if you don’t (Proverbs 18:13).   THURSDAY – Psalm 115 What ideas, things, people do you depend on more than on God? Having a positive, realistic attitude helps when we are sick, but nothing helps when we give up (Proverbs 18:14).   FRIDAY – Proverbs 1:8-19 What was it Jesus said about having everything going your way but, in the end, losing your soul (Luke 12:16-21)? With the understanding only God can give comes learning. People with the wisdom only He can give listen to Him to learn more (Proverbs 18:15). How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord. St. John's Lutheran Church 1616 W. Mequon Road Mequon, WI  53092
