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 27:1-14. Verse 8 KJV, if I am to make this a day of seeking God’s face, what attitudes and actions are required? If beginning to succeed, how will I know? What’s the reward?
I Kings 11:1-43. Solomon turns away from God. When have I seen someone’s great gifts and abilities negated by one blind spot or weak spot? Application for me today?
II Peter 1:12-21. Verse 20, how can I guard against falling for private interpretations of Scripture? What’s at stake?
Matthew 17:1-13. Verse 1, how did these three disciples, mistake-prone as they were, qualify to see Jesus transfigured when the other nine did not? What can I do today to grow toward that status?
