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 73:1-28. Verse 24, on what issue do I most urgently need God’s guidance today?
Genesis 28:1-22. Verse 12, God shows Jacob a ladder of angels. During the past year, did I go up that ladder a little, or down it? What must I do to climb higher in this coming year? Action point for today?
Malachi 1:9-14. Verse 13, weary of obeying God. How am I susceptible to spiritual tiredness and complaining?
Matthew 9:18-26. What’s involved for me today to get near Jesus and touch his robe? What results can I expect?
