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 49:1-20. Verse 15 KJV, what situation greatly concerns me today, for which, when tempted to worry, I can insist, “But God—”?
Deuteronomy 19:1-21. Moses begins spelling out Israel’s criminal code. How does God view the movement to favor lawbreakers over law enforcement? My church’s role? My role?
Hebrews 9:1-15. Verses 11-14, how does the blood of Christ make my situation different, starting here and now today?
Matthew 7:7-12. Verse 12, how many times did I neglect the Golden Rule yesterday? What caused that? What’s to be done?
