Today’s verse to meditate on:

Job 1:6-7
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”

Have you learned this week’s memory verse?

Psalm 63:1

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
