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 44:1-26. Verses 1-3, what testimony of God’s care have I heard from my father and mother and their generation? Application for today?
Judges 14:1-20. Samson, strong but weak, is groomed by God to fight the Philistines. When have I seen God use notably flawed individuals to further his kingdom purposes?
II Corinthians 10:12-11:4. Verse 3 KJV, in going through this day, when may I face a choice between the serpent’s subtlety and Christ’s simplicity?
Luke 9:1-9. Verse 3, what baggage does Jesus want me to leave behind for greater usefulness to him at this season of my life?
