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 45:1-17. Verse 7, what’s involved in conducting myself today exactly as the Psalmist says King Jesus conducted himself, loving righteousness and hating wickedness?
Judges 15:1-20. Samson’s fierce wrath. Where does violence enter into God’s government of this fallen world?
II Corinthians 11:5-15. Verse 14, Satan disguised as an angel. In what form am I likely to encounter this deception at present? What’s my defense?
Luke 9:10-27. Faced with urgent need, the disciples offer a practical solution, but Jesus counters with a prayer solution. What new possibilities does this hold for a need I’m facing right now?
