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 106:1-48. Verses 37-39, how much priority does my church give to saving the lives of unborn children and ending the abortion holocaust? My role?
I Kings 18:1-46. Elijah defeats the Baal prophets. How does this shed light on the showdown or test of strength currently taking place between the living God and the idols of this world? My role?
Acts 25:1-12. Paul appeals to Caesar. What may have been the spiritual discernment underlying his human tactics here? Application for me today?
Mark 14:22-31. What’s gained or lost for me as a Christian, according to whether I set a high value or a lesser value on the Lord’s Supper? Am I under Jesus’ gaze in so doing?
