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 69:1-36. Verse 9, if family members and friends were asked about me, “What’s that person zealous for?”—how would they answer? Is Jesus pleased with this or does he want me to do a reset?
Ezekiel 48:1-35. God’s unrivaled sovereignty over order, precision, and detail. What personal uncertainty or concern of mine can I confidently entrust today, to such a God?
Ephesians 4:25-5:7. Out of this long list of ungodly attitudes and actions, what are three I specially want God’s help in avoiding today?
John 16:16-24. Verses 23 and 24, Jesus invites us to pray bigger prayers. How shall I apply this today for the millions of people around the world impacted by the Covid crisis?
