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 79:1-13. Verse 13, if I claim to be one of God’s sheep, what attitudes and actions does that require of me today? What’s the reward?
Ezekiel 46:1-24. Verse 18, why does God affirm property rights? What has this to do with his overall provision for humankind? Is my church clear on this?
Ephesians 4:1-16. Verses 13-15, what particular situation in my life right now calls for speaking the truth in love? What if I just can’t?
John 15:18-27. How does the world’s hatred of Christ and Christians impact my church, my family, and me? How can I obtain God’s provision and protection today?
