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 143:1-12. Verse 2, when have I had to ask God not to do me justice, not to treat me as I deserve? Present application?
Exodus 18:1-27. Jethro persuades Moses to delegate some authority. What’s the spiritual lesson here for me?
I Corinthians 4:1-13. Verse 10, what are some things I might do now or very soon, seriously and reverently, that could get me called a fool for Christ? Is it worth the risk? Is it even optional
John 6:52-59. Why do we condemn cannibalism, yet sanctify the eating of Jesus’ flesh and blood? What else does this “eating” involve besides taking something into my mouth and stomach?
