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 74:1-23. Verses 1 and 11, since God lovingly allows us to ask him “Why?”—what sore problem shall I bring him today?
I Chronicles 5:1-26. 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 3:19-25. Verse 24 KJV, in becoming more spiritually mature, did I go through this “training wheels” experience of tutelage under a schoolmaster? Present application?
Luke 10:38-42. Is Jesus nudging me to reset my priorities and do better at putting him first, so I’m less of a Martha and more of a Mary? What would that actually look like over the next 24 hours?
