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 29:1-11. God’s voice, mightily at work. How can I be cognizant of his voice, other than as sound waves reaching my ear? What does his voice require of me today?
II Chronicles 20:1-37. Verses 15-18, Jehoshaphat learns a new way to do battle. What struggle, seemingly too much for me, shall I resign into God’s hands today?
Revelation 1:12-20. Verse 18, as a servant of Christ crucified and risen, holder of the keys of hell and death, what assurance can I have in these stormy times?
Luke 20:45-21:6. Verses 2 and 47, a widow’s generosity to the clergy despite the clergy’s stinginess to widows. What failings of the church does God want me shrug off today and keep faith with Him anyway?
