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 40;1-17. Verse 10, vowing not to hide or conceal from others, God’s goodness as I have experienced it. How can I specifically fulfill this vow today?
Jeremiah 38:1-28. King and princes struggle over Jeremiah, whether he is to live or die. How can I obtain from God today some measure of Jeremiah’s composure and assurance under all trials?
Hebrews 10:1-10. How is my life different this day, through reliance on Jesus’ sacrificial offering of himself on the cross?
Luke 1:26-38. Mary, told she is to give birth to God’s Son, says yes to Him. What can I learn today from the Blessed Virgin? In what specific way can I emulate her?
