| Q's of the Day"Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:5-6
Do I have moderation? That is, am I bound up with desire for any one thing (other than God) to the point where it's a major priority in my life? Do I get eaten up with passion for hunting or fast cars or football or ballet or blogging or books, or am I a balanced person whose only real obsession is coming to know the Lord more fully? And when I do find something in this world which I particularly enjoy, do I share it with God through prayer and let him decide how much of it is good for me and how I should use it to glorify him?

| Q's of the Day"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ..." -Philippians 3:8
Do I count all things but loss for the excellency of knowing Christ? Am I submitted to his love so fully that everything else is of small or even negative value in my reckoning? Do I truly hate my life for his sake, or am I still grabbing at the things of the world?

| Qs of the D"When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord." Psalm 102:16-18
Isn't that amazing? "This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord." Breathtaking, isn't it? I've been in awe over it since late last night.

| Qs of the D"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ..."Philippians 1:27a
Is my conversation becoming to the gospel? That is, does my daily interaction with the world around me suit my inner condition as a sinner who has died to sin? Does my life speak of the same kinds of humility, love, sacrifice, and honesty my Lord showed when he was on earth?
