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 124:1-8. Verse 7, what’s the snare or trap that the enemy sets for God’s people? How did Jesus bring about my escape? Application for today?
I Chronicles 29:1-30. Verses 14-16, if I could more fully believe that all i have comes from God, and there is more where that came from, how would it change my behavior?
Philippians 1:19-30. Verses 21-24, related question, if I held even life itself as loosely as Paul did, what new possibilities for serving God might open up to me?
Luke 16:19-31. Does my church take heaven and hell as seriously as Jesus did?
