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 92:1-15. Verse 14, what fruit does God expect from me at my stage in life? How does it differ from what he’d expect at an earlier or later stage? Action point?
Haggai 2:1-14. Verses 6 and 7, how has 2020 been an example of God shaking all things? Can I at all see his purpose in doing so? How can I get in step with that purpose?
Ezra 4:1-24. Verses 12-14, in today’s world, what powerful interests are threatened by the witness of God’s people? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Luke 11:1-4. Is the Lord’s Prayer as important to me as Jesus meant it to be? How can I keep it alive in my heart even with long familiarity?
