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 55:1-23. Verse 17, do my prayers follow a daily pattern, or are they more spontaneous at need? How can I improve my prayer life both in quantity and in quality this coming week?
Isaiah 25:1-12. Verse 8, God swallows up death in victory. What situation, personally known to me, needs this bold assurance from the word of the Lord today?
Revelation 5:1-14. Verses 5 and 6, Jesus as both Lion and Lamb. What shall I ask him to do for me this morning?
Luke 20:27-40. How is everything better for me today in that I am a child of the resurrection, serving a God not of the dead but of the living?
