Bible Friday 11/18: This is the Heir

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 48:1-14. Verses 8-13, what must I do to situate myself today, this very day, in God’s holy city of Zion and to actively acquaint myself with it?

Isaiah 23:1-18. God’s severe judgment upon Tyre. How can America escape the same?

Revelation 3:14-22. Verse 20, how can I recognize Jesus’ knock at my door when it comes? When I open the door and let him in, what will happen then?

Luke 20:9-19. Verses 13-15, why does the worldly mind desire to be rid of God’s beloved Son, Jesus Christ? How are they attempting to exclude and silence him at present? What can I do in response?
