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 130:1-8. Verses 3 and 4, what do I know about myself that would disqualify me from God’s love, were he not so gracious and forgiving? Application for today?
II Chronicles 1:1-17. Verses 7-12, Solomon prays for what matters most. In my prayer today, will I ask God for lesser things or for the very greatest thing?
Philippians 2:1-11. Verses 1-4, true fellowship in Christ. What has been my greatest experience of this? With whom can I connect in this special way today or very soon?
Luke 17:1-10. Verse 4, sevenfold forgiveness. What’s the theology here? What’s the specific lesson for me?
