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 22:1-31. Verse 1, when have I felt forsaken by God? What did I learn that can help me with present challenges?
Lamentations 5:1-22. Verse 21, when God answers my prayer and turns me back toward him, how will that start to show up in my everyday life?
Matthew 26:57-27:61. Verses 73-75, how can I prepare myself day by day for the next time I am tested, so I’m ready to confess Jesus Christ and not deny him?
John 19:17-37. Verse 30, how can the finished work of Jesus on the cross make a difference in the way I think and act, starting now?
