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 8:1-9. Verse 6, in what particular way today do I need more of this dominion God has promised us? Prayer point?
II Chronicles 10:1-19. Rashness of the new king Rehoboam. What have I rejected wise counsel and indulged self-will? What did God teach me from that? Present application?
James 5:1-12. Verse 11, how is the patience of Job needed right now for me or someone I know? Where is God in such a situation?
Luke 14:7-14. Jesus tells how to surprise your host or your guests. Where can I put this into practice today? Why does it matter?
