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 76:1-12. Verse 10, God making human anger and animosity serve his purposes. How can this inform my prayers for the political strife in America and the military strife in Ukraine?
Jeremiah 45:1-5. God warns Baruch, Jeremiah’s right hand, of a long hard road ahead. What preparations should I begin making today for the cost of discipleship in the coming era of persecution?
II Timothy 3:10-17. What specific changes has Scripture brought about in me, thus far in 2022?
Matthew 25:14-30. What will it look like for me to be faithful, not fearful, today in exercising the stewardship God has entrusted to me?
