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 126:1-6. Verses 5 and 6, what seed have I tried to sow this year, trusting God? What harvest am I praying for, next year and beyond?
Micah 2:1-13. Verse 2, what oppression is taking place in my community right now? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Luke 1:26-38. Verse 38, Mary’s perfect submission to God’s command. What opportunity do I have to emulate her example at this point in my life?
Luke 1:39-56. The Holy Spirit announces the Messiah to both Elisabeth and her unborn child. How do I want the Spirit to help me welcome Christ’s coming this week?
