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 149:1-9. Verse 4 KJV, God beautifies the meek with salvation. In what specific ways, the Spirit helping me, can I grow in meekness in the coming year?
Isaiah 66:1-24. The prophet Isaiah makes his closing argument: God’s justice, mercy, vengeance, and victory. How can I demonstrate my gratitude to Him today?
Revelation 22:1-20. Verses 1 and 17, this water of life—how can I partake of it today?
Matthew 25:31-46. Verses 44 and 45, during this holiday season, when have I missed an opportunity to minister kindly to Jesus himself? How can I go about doing better, today or one day soon?
