Bible Friday 5/21: To Battle

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 50:1-23. Verse 5, what exactly is the covenant between me and God? What does he expect from me today? What can I expect from him?

Exodus 40:1-38. Verses 34-37, as my church goes about its work, what would be the evidence of God’s glory resting upon us or not? What’s to be done by us as a body or as individuals in that case?

I Corinthians 14:1-9. Verse 8, when have I experienced the sounding of God’s battle trumpet? Can it be heard sounding right now?

John 16:1-24. Verses 20-24, how shall I express today, all day, the joy of Christ victorious?
