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 66:1-20. Verse 16, in a few words, what has God done for my soul? Whom can I bless today by telling them?
Deuteronomy 27:1-26. Verses 2-8, monuments of remembrance to God. What serves this purpose in my home and in my church? Why does it matter?
Hebrews 11:17-29. Verses 24-26, in what way have I chosen Christ over worldly gains? What’s my next step on that path?
Matthew 8:18-22. Related question, what has it cost me to follow Jesus? How can I know whether he is now asking even more of me? Action point for today?
