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 119:129-176. Verse 130, what’s dark, shadowy, or unclear in my life right now, which I need to have God light up?
Nehemiah 7:1-73. Honor roll of the exiled Jews repatriated to Jerusalem. On what honor roll of the faith, perhaps known to God alone, does he desire to place me if I persevere?
Galatians 6:1-10. Verse 9, in what area am I susceptible to spiritual weariness? What is God’s antidote?
Luke 13:1-9. Jesus refutes the “I’m a good person” fallacy. Whom do I know that needs to be delivered from this mistaken worldview? In what way does it tend to creep into my own thinking?
