Bible Wednesday 11/2: At First Light

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 5:1-12. Verse 3, how can I adjust my morning routine so that I’m fully committing each day into God’s care at the very outset?

Isaiah 7:1-25. Verse 14, when have I experienced a clear awareness of Immanuel, God with us? Application for today?

James 3:1-12. In what specific way does my tongue need to be tamed and disciplined under God’s authority? First step?

Luke 16:1-13. Verse 13, do I sometimes attempt to serve both God and mammon (money, material possessions)? How can I become more alert to this and more focused on treasure in heaven?
