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 105:1-45. Verses 17-19, when has God taught me hard lessons like those he taught Joseph, everything seeming to go more and more wrong? Present application?
Exodus 2:1-25. Verses 11-15, when have I rashly tried to play God, as Moses did here, with bad consequences? Present application?
I Peter 5:1-14. Verses 8-10, what schemes of the devil, craftily hidden, must I beware today? How can I obtain God’s protection from these?
John 21:15-25. Jesus interrogates Peter three times. What clear evidence of my love for Jesus can I give him today?
