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 106:1-48. Verses 37 and 38, child sacrifice. Why is abortion almost like a religion to some people? What is God’s view of this? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Daniel 4:1-37. King Nebuchadnezzar is broken before God, then restored to power. Is there any hope that our country’s rulers would again bow to the sovereign might and glory of God?
Philippians 4:4-9. Verse 8, the standard for godly thoughts and words. Where did I specifically fall short of this yesterday? What opportunities will I have to live up to it today?
Luke 1:39-56. Verses 46-55, the Magnificat. What qualities of the Virgin Mary shall I ask God to help me express more fully during this season of Advent and Christmas?
