Bible Thursday 11/18: But God

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 49:1-20. Verse 15 KJV, what threat or problem, looming before me at present, can I meet today with the decisive refutation, “But God”—?

II Chronicles 27:1-9. King Jotham’s faithful reign. Verse 6, what prominent individual exemplifies the “God first” approach to leadership in our country or our world right now?

Revelation 6:1-17. Verses 15 and 16, how do current events show us the mighty of the earth hiding in fear from the wrath of the Lamb? What is my church’s role in all this? My role?

Luke 22:35-38. Verse 35, those who obey Jesus will lack nothing. Present application for me?
