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 119:89-128. Verse 127, possessions or God’s love? What’s my strategy during the next few days for making this a Christmas of spiritual treasures, not material distractions?
Daniel 11:1-45. Verses 36-39, political power overwhelms God’s power. How do I avoid buying into this scenario right now as Congress and the President clash?
Revelation 19:1-10. Verse 9, what does the marriage supper of the Lamb have to do with the carols, the tree, the mall, the presents, our family at dinner?
Mark 13:14-27. Verses 14 and 27, instant readiness and obedience. What can I do today to be fully ready as Jesus commands?
