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 32:1-11. In my spiritual growth at present, is God able to guide me with his eye (verse 8) or having to force me with a bridle (verse 9)? Prayer point?
II Chronicles 2:1-18. Solomon’s big preparations to build the temple. In what way have I or my church been thinking too small about how we should serve God?
James 1:12-20. Verse 17 KJV, what gift do I desire today from the Father of lights? When received, what use will I make of it?
Luke 13:1-9. What discipline and demands is Jesus pressing on me right now, to make me more fruitful? What will improvement look like?
