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 78:1-72. Verses 3-8, witnessing of God from generation to generation. How can my church do a better job of this? My role? First step today?
II Chronicles 19:1-11. Judgeships established throughout the kingdom of Judah. As a Christian do I make too much or too little of civil government? Is it rightly weighted in my prayer life?
I Thessalonians 5:12-28. Verses 16-18, more joy, more prayer, more thankfulness. What practical daily resolve or routine can I undertake toward such a way of life?
Luke 17:1-4. More forgiveness. Where is my blind spot on this imperative command of Christ? Why does it matter? Action point for today?
