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 79:1-13. Verse 10, what’s going on in my life or in my church right now that could allow unbelievers to say that God has failed, God’s not there? How can I counter this by prayer and action today?
II Chronicles 18:1-34. King Ahab ignores the prophet’s warning. When have I followed self-will, telling myself it was God’s will? Application for today?
I Thessalonians 5:1-11. Verse 5, what specific choices will I face today between serving God with the children of light or disserving him with the children of darkness?
Luke 16:19-31. Whose misery, that should be obvious to me, have I been blind to or callous about? Action point for today?
