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 8, what are some ways I am susceptible to hardness of heart? How does this disrupt my relationship with God? Action point for today?
Job 39:1-30. Verses 13 and 27, absurdity of the ostrich, majesty of the eagle. What creatures has God used to teach me lessons about myself and Himself? Present application?
Ezra 5:1-17. Verse 5, God’s eye is on the Jews during the temple rebuilding controversy. Is there a particular responsibility I am bearing at present, under his watchful eye?
Luke 11:14-23. Is Satan, the devil, enemy of our souls, taken as seriously in my church and my family as Jesus took him? What’s at stake in getting this right?
