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 146:1-10. Verses 3-5, how have I been putting too much reliance on politics for good or ill? What prayer will keep me close to God amid the barrage of news and media?
I Chronicles 18:1-17. David’s military conquests and spoils of war. Verses 6 and 13, have I been failing to give God the glory lately? Resolve for today?
Ephesians 2:1-10. Verse 10 KJV, looking in the mirror, do I see God’s workmanship or someone self-made? What agenda has God ordained for me to carry out today?
Luke 10:38-42. More about my agenda for today. How can I carry out necessary tasks (Martha) and stay close to Jesus all day (Mary)?
