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 81:1-16. Verse 10 KJV, what is the spiritual significance of opening my mouth wide so God can fill it? What shall I do and not do today in order to express that?
I Chronicles 9:1-44. God’s honor roll 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 5:1-15. Verses 1 and 13-15, how are the liberty and freedom we understand in Christ different from the common political understanding of these? Is my church clear on this? My role?
Luke 11:24-32. What are some of the unclean spirits Jesus is warning me to drive out and keep out from the “house” of my heart and mind? What security measures shall I take for this today?
