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 122:1-9. Verse 6, what has the peace of Jerusalem to do with my relationship to God and my commitment to Christ?
II Kings 6:1-33. Verses 15-17, what situation at present seems to me like an encircling enemy army? In practical terms, what form would God’s superior forces, coming to my rescue, take?
Job 1:13-22. What is the closest I ever came to experiencing such devastation as Job did? How did God show up? Present application?
Luke 3:7-22. Verses 16 and 17, Jesus and the fire that baptizes or destroys. How am I experiencing this in the fiery year of 2020? Prayer point?
