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 123:1-4. Verse 2, what are some distractions that would cause me to take my eyes off God today? How shall I go about counteracting those?
Nehemiah 9:1-38. The Levites’ long prayer of confession, contrition, and gratitude to God. What’s one practical step I can take to deepen and enliven my prayer life?
James 1:1-11. Verses 6-8 KJV, related question, how am I sometimes wavering or double-minded in my relationship with God? Action point for today??
Luke 13:18-21. Verse 21, if I, my family, and my church are being used by God as elements of leaven or yeast for his kingdom, what would that look like right now?
