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 26:1-12. Verse 2, how does God’s examination of me differ from a Covid test, IQ test, or Meyers-Briggs personality test? How do I learn the results? What do I then do with them?
II Chronicles 19:1-11. Verse 2, the seer warns the king against allying with those who hate God. How does this apply to me or my church? Action point?
Revelation 1:1-11. Verses 5 and 6, if the crucified and risen Jesus has given me a share in his kingship and priesthood before God the Father, what specifically is required of me today?
Luke 20:41-44. Verse 43, who exactly are these enemies that Jesus intends to trample underfoot when enthroned at God’s right hand? How does this benefit me here and now?
