Bible Wednesday 4/6: Zion Birth Certificate

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 87:1-7. Verses 5 and 6, our Zion birth certificate. By my having this, how is today altogether different for me?

Jeremiah 50:1-46. Verses 4-9, 17-20, God rescues and redeems his lost sheep. What are some of the better and worse qualities of a sheep that I can see in myself? Prayer point for today?

Titus 3:1-15. Verse 9 KJV, why does Paul say that genealogies are foolish and unprofitable for the believer? Application for me?

John 8:37-47. Verse 44, what warning is Jesus giving me here about the devil’s specific designs on me today? What’s my protection against that?
