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 95:1-11. Verse 6, bowing and kneeling before God. Why does the Bible recommend specific physical postures for prayer? What has been my experience or preference with that?
Isaiah 43:1-28. Verse 19, what new thing can I sense God doing in our world right now? What new thing is he doing personally in me? What’s required of me? What’s in it for me?
Revelation15:1-8. Verse 2, how do I go about getting victory over the beast? What’s at stake if I neglect this?
Luke 22:47-53. Verses 49-51, when has my zeal to advocate for Jesus prompted me to go about it the wrong way? What did I learn?
