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 10:1-18. Verse 4, pride separates us from God. In what way does this get at me?
II Chronicles 12:1-16. Verses 9 and 10, Rehoboam makes brass shields to replace his father’s gold shields, lost to Egypt. Has the church lowered its standards over the years? Have I lowered mine? Action point?
Colossians 2:1-9. Verse 8, related, what are some of the worldly beliefs and attitudes that lure Christians away from Christ? What’s my defense today?
Luke 19:11-27. What asset has Jesus entrusted to me for investment and multiplication? How am I doing so far? Next step?
