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 8, how shall I go about setting the Lord always before me today? If I do so, what are some noticeable ways the day will be better?
II Kings 13:1-25. Death of Elisha. What’s an important lesson about walking with God that I can learn from this wonder-working prophet?
Job 6:15-30. Job protests that his friends have failed him in his hour of need. When have I come to someone in crisis with pat answers instead of deep spiritual consolation?
Luke 5:17-26. Who do I know that needs to be put in touch with Jesus today? Can someone partner with me in doing that? Are we determined enough to tear the roof off, if need be?
