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 106:1-48. Verses 35-39, child sacrifice. What forms does this take in the present day? What is my church doing about it? My role?
II Chronicles 32:1-33. Verses 25, 26, and 32, Hezekiah’s greatness marred by pride. In what specific ways am I vulnerable to pride? What is God’s antidote? Prayer point?
Revelation 6:9-17. Verse 16, wrath of the Lamb. Who or what incurs this? What’s my protection?
Luke 19:41-44. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem. Looking at my community right now, what makes him weep? What’s my church doing about it? My role?
