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 39:1-13. Verses 1-3, to use my tongue more to the glory of God today, what should I be sure to say and be sure not to say?
Numbers 9:1-23. Verses 15-17, needing guidance for an important decision today, whether to stop or go, what sign should I expect from God?
Acts 10:17-33. Related lesson, two prominent men obeying God outside their comfort zone. What specific opportunity do I have today to do this?
Mark 7:17-23. Verses 22 and 23, as with Psalm 39 above, which evils on this list am I most prone to? What is Jesus telling me to do about it?
