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 78:1-40. Verses 3-7, witnessing of God across the generations. How can I become still more intentional about gratitude for what was taught me and care for what I can hand down?
Jeremiah 46:1-28. God to punish Egypt yet spare Israel. What can we learn of His ways, and of our duty to Him, from the war in Ukraine being allowed to rage on and on?
II Timothy 4:1-8. Verse 7, what are the testing points I must face today, with God’s help, in order to say at bedtime that this day at least, I have fought a good fight?
Matthew 25:31-46. What opportunity can I find today to minister to “one of the least of these,” and in so doing, minister to Jesus himself?
