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 119:129-176. Verse 164, how many times a day do I stop to talk with God? How can I stay closer to him today than yesterday?
I Samuel 20:1-42. Deep bond of Jonathan and David. What is the closest God-honoring friendship I’ve ever had with someone? How did it help me grow spiritually?
Acts 7:35–43. Verses 35 and 38, angels accompany Moses. What specific help from God‘s angels shall I pray for today?
Mark 7:13-19. Versus 16 and 17, if Jesus gave me a nickname based on my usefulness to him, what might it be? How well have I deserved it lately? Action point?
