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 99:1-9. Verse 6, three mighty prayer warriors of old. Who are three prayer warriors I know personally? What does their example teach me about improving my own prayer life?
Leviticus 17:1-16. Verses 4, 5, 10, 14 KJV, religious violators to be cut off from God’s people. How does religious obedience as taught in the Bible match up with religious freedom as upheld in America?
Acts 6:1-15. Verses 2-4, ordaining of deacons. Is my church in any way expecting too much of too few workers? What may I be able to do about it?
Mark 1:29-34. Who do I know that has a health or medical situation needing the touch of Jesus’ hand today? What is my prayer for that person?
