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 119:89-128. Verse 97 KJV, by meditating today on God’s law (not as legalism but as righteous government), what will I see that helps me deal with all the current turmoil?
i Samuel 19:1-24. Saul’s son and daughter defend David against the murderous king. When have I seen a tragically broken family? Where is God in such a situation?
Acts 7:20-34. Verses 30-32. In what ordinary persons and places might I arrestingly encounter God today and receive a command from him, as Moses did at the burning bush?
Mark 3:1-12. Verse 5, Jesus’ anger at those with hard hearts. What makes Jesus angry when he looks at America right now? When he looks at my church? When he looks right at me?
