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 145:1-21. Verse 18, by what inward and outward evidence can I be sure of God’s nearness today?
II Chronicles 31:1-21. Hezekiah’s sweeping religious reforms. If we swept with a new broom, zealous for God, what would my church do more of and do less of?
Revelation 6:1-8. The dreaded four horses of the Apocalypse, evil rampant. What forms does this take in our times? What’s my protection? My duty?
Luke 18:28-40. Verse 40, if Jesus has this much power to compel obedience and praise from all things, what problem can I confidently bring him today, never fearing it’s too big or too small for him to solve?
