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 105:1-45. Verse 4, O God today may I seek not only your hand for provision and your voice for knowledge, but also your face for the intimacy of Father and child. How shall I go about this from moment to moment?
II Chronicles 28:1-27. Verse 3, sacrificing children to pagan gods. What forms does this take in our times? What is my church doing about it?
Revelation 3:14-22. Verse 16, in what way might Jesus find me lukewarm in following him this past year? Action point for 2020?
Luke 18:35-43. Verse 41, suppose Jesus asked me today this favorite question of his, what is it I want. How would I answer him?
