I John 5:11-12 – And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Am I daily choosing to let God’s life live through me?  Do I value having the Son of God in my life?

I John 5:14-15 – This is the confidence we have in approaching God: That if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of Him.

Do I ask God for things that are according to His will?  Do I believe that He wants to provide what is best for me?

I John 5:20 – We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true.  And we are in Him who is true – even in His Son Jesus Christ.  He is the true God and eternal life.

Do I look to God to provide me with understanding?  Are all my hopes and desires founded on my relationship with God?

Proverbs 1:7 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Do I have a deep awe and reverence for God?  Do I live a disciplined life?  Do I seek to gain wisdom from God and His Word (the Bible)?

Proverbs 1:32 – For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

Do I reflect on the way I am living my life or do I live for the moment (as a simple person would do)?  Am I complacent about the direction of my life or do I take action to daily grow stronger in character, mind, body, and spirit?

January 3

Proverbs 2:6 – For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Do I seek to understand God’s way of doing things?  How well do I apply God’s wisdom to my life?

January 4

Proverbs 2:12 – Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked people, from people whose words are perverse.

Am I caught up in following the wrong people?  Do the words of people around me bring positive or negative impact?  Am I wisely choosing the right people to hang around?
