1. TODAY (if held accountable by a fellow believer),
Will I be a Herodious (Mark 6:19), OR
Will I be a David (2 Samuel 12:13)?
2. TODAY,
Will I focus my eyes on the world (1 John 2:16), OR
Will I focus my eyes on the Word (Psalm 119:18)?
3. TODAY,
Will I offer a hideous attitude towards my parents (Proverbs 20:20), OR
Will I offer the honor due them (Exodus 20:12)?
4. TODAY,
Will I make my husband want to run far away (Proverbs 21:19), OR

5. TODAY,
Will I have wishy-washy faith (James 1:6), OR
Will I have rock-solid faith (Romans 8:38)?
6. TODAY,
Will I be a stumbling stone to Jesus (Matthew 18:7), OR
Will I be a stepping stone to Jesus (John 1:45-46)?
7. TODAY,
Will I trust my life to the unstable world (Matthew 7:25-27), OR
Will I build my life on the solid Rock (Matthew 7:24-24)?
These little blurbs are based on Joshua 24:15, where he declared, "choose this day whom you will serve ... all the other gods, or The Lord God." So all the "du'jours" you see are to be considered a choice to make on that day. And, by the way, the choice should be obvious, and not difficult. This isn't really a multiple-choice quiz.

Week 1
I have no idea how many of these "du-jours" I will find in the long run. If by chance there are 365, how lovely for a daily devotional. Maybe I'll only find 52, so the "du'jour" will then be good for "du'week." Wouldn't it be fun if these turn into a book(let)?
I'll post these in groups of 7. If I develop writer's brain freeze, well, please don't freak out and wonder how you'll live the day without a "du'jour." Just do a "rinse and repeat" of the previous week(s). Hopefully, you'll be encouraged to do a little Bible-page-flipping. I pray also that you find these to be convicting and edifying.
