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 40:1-17. Verses 9-11, what blessing from God can I gratefully focus upon today, not waiting for any change in circumstances?
Ezekiel 37:1-28 verses 3-6, valley of dry bones. What renewal may God have in store for me and my church and all his churches through this pandemic if we are faithful?
I Corinthians 16:13-24. Verses 17-19, five exemplary Christians. Whose example in following Jesus inspires me today? How can I specifically be more like that person?
John 9:13-23. Verse 16, Pharisees are blind to Jesus. How is religion letting down the people in my community right now? What can I do about it?
