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 106:1-48. Verse 8 KJV, when has God met me more than halfway, beyond my deserving, with a “nevertheless” outpouring of grace and mercy?
Jeremiah 9:1-26. Verse 3 KJV, valiant for the truth. Whom do I know that meets this description? How can I become more like that person? First step today?
Romans 4:1-12. Abraham’s radical faith. What qualities of this patriarch can I ask God to bring out in my attitudes and actions today?
Matthew 11:25-30. What weariness and burden do I need to have Jesus lift off me today? What’s involved in my “yoking up” with him right this very moment?
