Bible Wednesday 2/1: Spiritual Struggle

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 80:1-19. Verse 1, what qualities of a shepherd do I need to have God exercise for me today?

Genesis 32:1-32. Verses 24-30, when has it seemed I was wrestling with God? What did I learn? Application for this day?

Malachi 3:8-15. Verse 10, what have I been holding back that rightfully belongs to God—for me to be unburdened with and for him to bless others with?

Matthew 10:27-31. In that God is our Father who knows every hair on my head, what details should I confide in him and trust him with today?
