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 119:129-176. Verse 133 KJV, if I let God order my steps today, what will the day express and consist of? How will it glorify him?
Joshua 12:1-24. Thirty-three kings vanquished by Moses and Joshua to conquer the Promised Land. Why are the church militant and the church triumphant so seldom spoken of by Christians today?
Amos 4:1-13. God laments Israel’s refusal to learn, warns his patience is running out. What will happen when God’s patience is exhausted with America or with all Christendom? Is that day near?
Luke 3:23-38. The male line by which Jesus was supposedly (verse 23 KJV) descended from Adam and thence from God. When I’m adopted into God’s family though Christ, what becomes of my suppositional material ancestry?
