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 24:1-10. Verses 3 and 4 KJV, by going up God’s hill or approaching his holiness, how could I better meet what’s expected of me today? What must I do to purify myself in preparation for this?
Ezekiel 41:1-26. Mystically measuring the house of God. How can I be of use to him today in bringing to our chaotic world a bit more of the perfection, order, and beauty His kingdom will unveil?
Acts 1:1-14. Verses 2, 5, and 8, how does the Holy Spirit bring me closer to God the Father and Jesus the Son? What shall I ask the Holy Spirit to do for me today?
Luke 24:36-53. Verses 44-46, why is Jesus dearer to me, and why am I nearer to him, by realizing that the whole of the Old Testament prophesies about him?
