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 62:1-12. Verse 11 KJV, power belongs to God. What are some other claimants to power, or other kinds of power, that His power overrules? What specific need can this verse meet for me today?
Jeremiah 39:1-18. Babylon victorious, Jerusalem falls, the king taken, Jeremiah spared. Is God here warning me to be spiritually prepared for the worst? If so, what steps must I take to obey?
I Timothy 6:11-21. Verse 20 KJV, science falsely so called. Why are we to regard this as the enemy of Christian faith? How am I susceptible to being misled by false science?
Matthew 22:34-46. What are some ways in which I do fairly well at loving God and loving my neighbor, and some ways in which I do rather poorly? Action point for today?
