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 33:1-22. Verses 10 and 11 KJV, counsel of the worldly mind vs. counsel of the Lord. How do they present differing pictures of what’s ahead for our country as 2020 comes to a close? Which do I trust?
Isaiah 16:1-14. Verses 6 and 7, pride brought low. What’s the warning here to me from God?
II Thessalonians 2:1-12. Satan’s lies contend against God’s truth. How does this struggle play out in my own mind and heart at present?
Luke 18:35-43. Verse 41, if Jesus asked me this favorite question of his, “What can I do for you,” what would be my answer to him today? Do I have faith that he can and would grant my request?
