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 146:1-10. Verse 3, as the election approaches, am I putting too much trust in worldly politics and too little in King Jesus?
Isaiah 3:1-26. God warns Jerusalem of the consequences of ignoring him. Is America in a comparable predicament today? What is to be done?
James 1:12-27. Verses 22-25, tonight when I look back over the day, what will be the proof of my having been a doer of God’s word, and not merely a hearer of it?
Luke 15:1-7. When has Jesus’ sacrificial love for the one lost sheep, no less than the 99 that weren’t lost, been shown in my own case or that of someone I know? How will this guide the way I live today?
