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 100:1-6. Verse 3, how am I tempted to falsely see myself as a self-made person? What does God say to that?
Jeremiah 6:1-30. Verse 16, God points us to the old paths. How well is my church attuned to this? Why does it matter?
Romans 3:1-8. Fallacy of cheap grace. When have I recklessly presumed on the forgiveness of God? What did I learn? Present application?
Matthew 10:32-42. Verse 38, in what practical way can I bear the cross today? Verse 39, what mistaken approach to “finding my life” could result in my losing what really matters?
