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 16:1-11. Verse 6, how are my physical DNA and ancestry of mixed quality? How does my spiritual heritage in Christ supersede that? Application for today?
Joel 3:1-21. Verses 3-8, atrocities against children. What is my church doing about this? My role?
Acts 2:22-36. Peter preaches to the Jews about the Son of God crucified and resurrected. Is this the central message of my church week in and week out? If not, what is?
John 17:11-19. The Son prays the Father to sanctify me. What evidence is there of my starting to be sanctified? What is the next stage in that process? What’s required of me today?
