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 116:1-19. Verses 14 and 18 KJV, pay my vows to the Lord. What vows do I owe him? Or is this mere legalism, inapplicable to the saved Christian?
Isaiah 47:1-15. Arrogant Babylon is brought low. Verses 8 and 10, in these times how are individuals or mass movements or nations tempted to boast, “I am”? What is God’s response? Prayer point for me?
Revelation 17:1-6. Babylon again, drunk on the blood of Christians. How ready am I to witness for Jesus with my very blood?
Luke 23:1-12. Verse 12, Pilate and Herod combine to silence Jesus. Why are all today’s worldly powers terrified of Jesus? What is my church doing about it? My role?
