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 119:49-88. Verse 62, prayer at midnight. What problem has been costing me sleep or troubling my dreams of late? Am I worrying about it or entrusting it to God?
I Chronicles 25:1-31. David organizes the temple musicians. Why is music important to God, and hence to me in serving God?
Ephesians 6:1-9. God’s admonition to parents and children. How have family challenges, for good or ill, prepared me to serve God better in the years remaining to me?
Luke 15:1-10. When have I witnessed, or experienced, the all-out rescue efforts of Jesus for one (perhaps undeserving) lost sheep? Application for today??
