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 119:49-88. Verse 63, godly companions. What persons have been the most instrumental to my spiritual growth and encouragement this past year? How can I thank them?
Daniel 10:1-21. Verses 12 and 19, when have I experienced a clear word from God that my prayers were heard and would be answered? What’s to be done when I pray and don’t get such clarity?
Revelation 18:9-24. Economic empire of ungodliness. At the present day, how does sin generate vast profits and prestige? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Mark 13:1-13.Verse 10, gospel to the nations. My role? Verse 13, Christians widely hated. If not yet experiencing this, am I really walking my talk? Action point for 2020?
