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 35:1-28. Verses 26 and 27 KJV, reviewing yesterday, which did I tend to magnify all day, that which was of God or that which was not of God? Action point for today?
Job 19:1-29. Verses 25-27. a broken man takes heart from Christ’s return and the resurrection to come. How does this give perspective on what I thought were the severity of my problems and the bleakness of my outlook?
II Corinthians 1:1-7. Related question, to whom can I provide some comfort today through the power of Jesus Christ? First step?
Luke 7:11-17. Related again, on what matter of present concern to me is God ready to answer a bigger prayer than I have yet asked of him?
