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 46:1-11. How God masters a crisis. What does this tell me to think and do about the virus? What does it tell me not to think and do?
Jeremiah 45:1-5. Related, God warns Jeremiah and Baruch things will get worse, but they will live. Present application?
I Corinthians 2:12-16. Verse 16 KJV, related again, having the mind of Christ, what can I see about this pandemic that the worldly mind can’t see?
Matthew 21:23-27. When religious self-preservation overrides fidelity to God. Where is this occurring now? What is my church doing about it?
