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 62:1-12. Verse 5, wait on God only. In order to obey that “only,” what other forms of reliance must I put aside today?
Judges 21:1-25. Verse 25, how close is America to this condition of utter moral anarchy? How can Christians go about beginning to rebuild?
Galatians 1:11-24. Paul’s conversion story. Who is there of my acquaintance that is on the path from disbelief in Jesus to belief in him? How can I be of help to that person, starting today?
Luke 9:57-62. What excuses have I been making to Jesus in order to postpone following him with all my heart? Action point for today?
