Bible Saturday 8/15: The Dutiful Son

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 110:1-7. Verse 1, how is my approach to this day changed by knowing that Jesus sits at God's right hand? 

I Kings 20:1–43. Idolatrous King Ahab receives God’s favor even so. For what do I need a second chance from the Lord? 

Luke 2:41-50. Verse 48, when have I experienced sorrow as a parent or caused it to my parents? What is God’s balm for that? 

John 2:1-12. Verses 3-5, who is the Virgin Mary to me? Why does it matter?
