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 119:145-176. Verse 176, have I strayed like a lost sheep at any time during this year? What is to be done?
II Chronicles 34:1-33. Verse 4, King Josiah, only 16, rededicates all Judah to the Lord. What influences draw today’s teenagers away from God? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Revelation 8:1-13. Verses 3 and 4, prayers of the saints: fiery, fragrant, pouring upward to God. How can I bring this much intensity to my prayers today?
Luke 20:1-8. Moral cowardice of the religious leaders. How does this ensnare prominent Christians today?How does it ensnare me?
