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 121:1-8. Verse 4, how are the quantity and quality of my sleep beneficially affected by realizing that God never sleeps?
II Kings 5:1-27. Verses 3 and 13, when has God used a “nobody” to humble my false pride in being “somebody”? Present application?
Job 1:1-12. Verses 8-11, watching and listening to me over the past week, would someone conclude I act more like a person on God’s payroll or a member of God’s family?
Luke 3:1-6. Related question, what “road improvements” shall I ask God to make in me, so that I’m a better channel for his kingdom purposes?
