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 127:1-5. Verse 1, what big challenge have I been trying to handle on my own, that I should invite God into today?
I Chronicles13:1-14. Related point, importance of seeking to be used by God, not to use him. Application to my present circumstances?
II Corinthians 12:1-10. Verses 7-10, what is my thorn in the flesh? What particular weakness of mine can I take as an opportunity to feel Christ’s strength today?
Luke 9:57-62. In what way have I been saying “but” to Jesus, making excuses to him, prioritizing lesser things? Action point today?
