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 55:1-23. Verse 22, what is the heaviest burden I am carrying right now? How do I go about casting it upon God today? What responsibility then remains to me?
Joel 1:1-20. Verse 14, fast, assemble, cry to the Lord. Do Christians in America face a crisis right now, an emergency? What is my church doing about it?
I Corinthians 14:10-19 KJV. Paul challenges the faithful to edify one another. This day, this week, how shall I go about doing that? What kind of thing has the effect of my being edified by others?
John 16:25-33. Verse 33, how is everything different for me today because Jesus overcame the world?
