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 68:1-35. Verse 11, how can I more fully do my part in making God and his goodness better known?
Zechariah 7:1-14. Verses 4-6, are my acts of devotion and worship in some ways just going through the motions, not from the heart? How does God view this? Action point for today?
John 11:1-44. Verse 35, jesus’ grief over human suffering and sorrow in a broken world. What is he trying to teach me here?
John 11:1-44 - 12:11. Verse 10, kill Lazarus too? Why is the worldly mind so desperate to be rid of Jesus and his most faithful followers? How much would be too much for me to give up in loyalty to him?
