Bible Thursday 12/15: The Hardest Forgiveness

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 107:1-43. Verses 6, 13, 19, and 28, what trouble moves me to cry out to God today? When has he heard my cry before and helped me?

Isaiah 50:1-11. Verse 4, what person, known to me, is weary and discouraged today, needing a kind word that I could give him or her in God’s name?

Revelation 18:21-24. Babylon’s utter downfall. Looking back over 2022, where have I actually directed more of my thought and effort, the city of man or the city of God?

Luke 23:27-38. The Cross. Verse 34, whom am I having trouble forgiving right now? What am I waiting for?
