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 145:1-21. Verses 10-13, focus on the Kingdom. How shall I devote more attention to God and his sovereign government of all things, and less to world news, today compared with yesterday?
Joshua 20:1-9. Cities of refuge. When has God forced me to cool my emotions so a wise and just judgment could be reached? Present application?
Amos 9:1-15. Verse 9, God sifts his people like threshed grain. As that process takes place even now, what is required of me? What’s the cost? What’s the reward?
Luke 5:33-39. What are the new clothes and the new wine that Jesus wants me to get used to, in order to be his follower? Action point for today?
