Bible Friday 1/3: Bear Fruit

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 10:1-18. Verse 14 KJV, what is my church doing to help the fatherless? My role?

Deuteronomy 3:1-29. Verses 25-27, when has God given a firm and final “no” to something I prayed for? What did I learn? Present application?

Hebrews 3:12-19. Verse 14, in what specific area is my faith and obedience in Christ most in danger of faltering? How shall I address that today and in days to come?

Luke 3:7-20. Verse 8, what are some fruits of repentance I want to offer God and my neighbor, this year more so than last? First step today?
