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 89:1-52. Verses 14 and 15, with a God who never lies, never changes, never breaks his word, have I been failing to take the promises of the Bible as seriously as I should? Application for today?
I Kings 10:1-29. After this chapter on Solomon’s grandeur and God’s favor to him, the next chapter begins with “But.” How vigilant am I against the forms of “but” most likely to come between me and Jesus?
Acts 20:6-16. Verse 10, why was Paul so sure the dead boy would revive? Application for me today?
Luke 11:29-32. Verse 31, why is the matchless treasure of Jesus harder for us to see than the wealth and wisdom of Solomon were for the Queen of Sheba? What do we risk losing?
