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 55:1-23. Verse 22, what is burdening me today? How can I cast that burden on God without shirking my own responsibility for the matter? Prayer point?
Isaiah 25:1-12. Verse 8 KJV, God will swallow up death in victory. What does it look like for me to partake of this promise right now, not just some day in the future?
Revelation 3:7-13. In the practicalities of this day, what does it mean that Jesus has the key, that he opens a door for me, that he gives me a crown I mustn't lose?
Luke 20:41-47. Verse 43, related question, what’s the present relevance or usefulness to me, of all God’s enemies being placed under Jesus’ feet?
