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 139:1-24. Verses 13-16, to what specific need, mine or someone else’s, can I apply this pledge of God’s good work in making and maintaining our bodies?
Isaiah 62:1-12. Zion and Jerusalem made new. How do my community and my country become eligible for this outpouring from God? What’s required of us, of me?
Revelation 20:1-10. A thousand years of the first resurrection. What has this to do with Jesus’ intention for how I am to think and act today?
John 21:24, 25. What can I do today to more nearly live up to the example of St. John the Evangelist, the disciple whom Jesus loved?
