Bible Tuesday 8/17: St. Luke Testifies

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 117:1, 2. God’s truth is forever. What are some basic things that are true about God that I’ll commit to dwell upon today?

Joshua 8:1-35. God’s commands and promises are cut in stone and read aloud to all Israel. How can Christians help our nation recover a single agreed standard of right and wrong? My role?

Acts 28:17-31. Rejected by Rome’s Jews, Paul turns to the Gentiles. When has God used a sore disappointment to ready me for something better? Application for today?

Luke 1:1-4. Attributes of Luke’s gospel (KJV) as stated here: surely believed, reliably witnessed, perfectly understood, an orderly account, known with certainty. Fully accepting these, how am I better off today?
