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 78:41-72. Verse 41 KJV, am I at present limiting God in any aspect of my needs, difficulties, and desires?
I Chronicles 8:1-40. God’s memory book of ancient names, continued. If they mattered to him enough to record their names in Scripture, what does that say about how much I matter to him?
Galatians 4:21-31. Children of promise, children of freedom. What’s my responsibility to God under this covenant? What’s specifically expected of me today?
Luke 11:14-23. Verse 17, the house divided, made famous by Lincoln when America faced civil war. How does the same warning apply to our country now? What is my church doing about it?
