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 116:1-19. Verse 15, who has died this year, that I knew and cared about, and for whom I can now thank God for putting them in my life?
Isaiah 51:1-23. Verse 3, what will some of the signs be, when God begins to revive and restore the life of our community after this awful year? What’s my role as he does so?
Revelation 17:7-18. Verse 14, how does the Lamb fight his war and win it? Have I any part in this, other than to wait, watch, and trust?
Luke 23:26-35. Verse 34, whom do I have the hardest time trying to forgive at present? What help can I get from Jesus in this?
