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 100:1-5. Verse 3, in what way do I sometimes presume to be self-made? What’s the consequence of embracing this false view?
Isaiah 44:1-28. Verses 21-24, when have I experienced God’s work of renewal in me? How can I show him my gratitude today? Who needs to hear about this, and participate in it?
Revelation 16:1-11. When have I experienced the severity of God’s hatred of sin? What did I learn?
Luke 22:54-65. Verse 61, have I ever come under the loving reproach of Jesus’ direct gaze? What does he see when he looks upon my heart this morning? What shall I do about it?
