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 71:1-24. Verses 17 and 18. How do the issues of being younger or older prey on my mind? What is God’s answer to that?

Acts 1:15-26. Matthias is made the twelfth apostle, filling Judas’s place. How can I more faithfully trust God to guide the outcome of all elections and other key appointments?
John 15:1-8. As a branch abiding in Jesus the true vine, what fruit does God expect of me today?
