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 7:1-20. Verses 11 and 14 KJV, our God works wonders. Using that timeworn word with exactness, what is truly wondrous about God’s ways and his care for us?
Hosea 3:1-5. Verse 2, the prophet buys back his unfaithful wife out of the slave market. When has the tough grind of obeying God seemed almost too much for me? What did I learn?
