Reading:

Revelation 21:1-8

Am I ready for a new beginning or am I amply satisfied with trying to make the best of and improve on the old presentness?

Is my heart so rooted in the first earth that I am kinda regretful at the prospect of its passing away?

Today, how shall I prepare myself for Christ?

What shall I do now with the stuff of this life, before these “former things are passed away”?

What is Jesus Christ to me? And how does that compare with what He wishes to be to me?

Am I waiting for Heaven for my new beginning?

In what do I need to be an overcomer today?

“The fearful, and unbelieving” need trust and faith in Christ — does that include me? What should I do about my answer?

Reading:

Mark 10:35-52

In my requests of God, do I see the James-and-John type or the Bartimaeus type?

Would any of my prayer requests for myself, if granted, put someone else at a disadvantage?

Do I see myself as a candidate for honor and position?

What do others’ maneuverings for greatness bring out about…me?

What motivates my service?
