Bible Tuesday 9/1: Raise the Roof

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 2:1-12. Verse 12 KJV, for me to live all day today with a determination to “kiss the Son,” what attitudes and actions would that require of me?

II Kings 15:1-38. Godly kings on Judah’s throne, murderous usurpers on Israel’s throne. As elections approach, what is my church doing to form Christlike citizens?

Job 8:1-22. Bildad piously lectures Job. What fallacies about the Christian life has God helped me outgrow? Application for today?

Luke 5:17-26. Verses 18-20, who needs my help getting in touch with Jesus today? What resourcefulness may this require of me? First step?
