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 18:1-50. Verses 25 and 26, three behaviors God approves and one that he disapproves. How can I specifically live into this teaching today?
Jeremiah 34:1-22. Verses 15-17, sin its own punishment. When have I experienced this? Present application?
Romans 14:14-23. Verse 15 KJV, how can I go out of my way to be charitable to someone today? Of whom must I remember, “Christ died for you”?
Matthew 12:9-21. Verse 12, related question, why is a human person better than a sheep? What tends to make me forget this is so?
