Bible Friday 1/10: Courage

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 27:1-14. Verses 1 and 14, what fears do I need to have God replace with courage today?

Deuteronomy 10:1-22. Israel gets a do-over on the Ten Commandments. When has God mercifully and patiently given me a second chance I didn’t deserve?

Hebrews 4:14-5:14. Verse 12, in my Christian life, what exactly does it mean to feed on milk or on meat? What can I do today that will bear a more “meaty” witness to the Lord Jesus?

John 2:1-12. Verse 10, taking this to mean that when we submit ourselves to Jesus the best is yet to come, what expression of that shall I pray to see for myself or a loved one?
