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 69:1-36. Verses 3 and 10, what trouble, more than any other, am I weeping over right now? How can I bring that situation before God today?
II Chronicles 33:1-25. Manasseh returns to the Lord and regains his kingdom. What is the hardest lesson God has ever taught me? Present application?
Malachi 2:1-9. Levitical priests shirking their duty as God’s messengers. Watching my church at work, and me at work in it, what grieves God the most?
Luke 23:26-38. Verse 34, what difficult act of forgiveness have I been putting off? Why not undertake it today?
