Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalms 119:49-72. Verse 63 KJV, how does Christmas remind me I am a companion of everyone who fears God? How can I live into that companionship all year long?
Isaiah 54:1-17. Verse 10, what God lavishes on me. Verse 17, what God shields me from. In very specific form, how do I hope to experience these promises today?
Revelation 18:1-24. How does “investing” in worldliness and wickedness enrich America today? Does it yield apparent benefits to me personally? Will I soon have to choose between this and Christ?
Luke 1:1-25. From the story of Zacharias being struck dumb, what can I learn about the faith and obedience God expects of me?
