Discover
1. Looking at these two verses, answer the questions, ‘Where? When? What is Jesus doing?’ See this map again for reference.

Ask God to help you test everything you see and hear through the lens of its truth.
2. Spend a few minutes now asking God to renew your own sense of awe of Him through the reading of His Word. Pray that He would meet you and that you would experience a fresh connection with Him as you read.
