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 134:1-3. Verse 2, why does God want me to lift up my hands when I pray or praise him?
II Chronicles 2:1-18. King Solomon enlists King Huram to help build the temple. Does my church see our edifice as God’s house, or something less? Should Christians care about architectural beauty and grandeur?
Philippians 2:12-18. Verse 15 KJV, in what way are these times crooked and perverse? Upon whom can I shine the light of Christ today?
Luke 17:20-37. Verses 26 and 27, related question, what does the ark symbolize for me and my family as we anticipate Christ’s return? Action point for today?
