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 19:1-14. Verse 14, what are some qualities God expects in the things I say and think? Qualities he disapproves? How did I do yesterday? Resolution for today?
Isaiah 12:1-6. Verse 3 KJV, water from the wells of salvation. Receiving this spiritual water, how am I benefitted today? Whom shall I share it with, so that they too can benefit?
I Thessalonians 4:13-18. By what attitudes and actions can I be at all times prepared for Christ’s return?
Luke 18:1-8. Verse 8, related question, when Jesus does come back, what will he be looking for to determine whether I am to be counted as one of his faithful or not?
