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 79:1-13. Verse 13, what qualities of a sheep do I express that please Jesus the Good Shepherd? What qualities that displease him? Action point for today?
Isaiah 34:1-17. Verse 16, coming eagerly this day to the book of the Lord, the Bible, what do I most need to receive from it?
Revelation 9:1-12. Verse 6, a fate worse than death. What does this expression, often loosely used, actually mean to me? What warning should I take from it?
Luke 21:20-24. Jerusalem’s downfall. What relevance does this prophecy of Jesus, fulfilled in AD 70, have for me in AD 2020?
