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 95:1-11. Verse 6, kneel before the Lord. What posture of my body do I find most conducive to prayer? Does it matter? Action point?

II Peter 3:1-18. Verse 8, existing outside time, God can lengthen or shorten it to suit his purpose. What’s the present application for me?
Mark 12:38-13:2. A widow gives God her all. What’s one practical step I can take in that direction right now?
