Studying this morning's 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 149:1-9. Verse 1, sing a new song. What’s new between me and God these days? What’s fresh, what’s shaking, what rocks me about him as never before?
Numbers 15:1-41. Verse 38, fringes and a blue border. What if I were to designate something on my person today that would remind me every time I see or touch it, “God, I’m yours”—?
John 20:11-18. Verse 16, if Jesus, disguised, spoke my name, what would there be in his voice that would instantly enable to know him? How do I put myself, like Mary Magdalen, in position for that to happen?
