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 55:1-23. Verse 17, am I more likely to follow a daily pattern of prayer or to reach out to God as needed? Does it matter?
Job 27:1-23. Verse 8, have I been in the past, or am I now, involved in hypocrisy? With what consequences? Why does this offend God?
II Corinthians 4:7-15. Verse 10, does this mean the Christian life involves a constant personal experience of the dying of Jesus? In what specific way would that play out for me as I go through this day?
Luke 8:16-18. Verse 16, how can I shine my light for the Lord more prominently and boldly today than yesterday?
