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 34:1-22. Verse 1, continual praise. How many times yesterday did I praise God, other than my morning devotions? How can I do better today?
Genesis 13:1-18. Abram, in settling with Lot, shows generosity of spirit and trust in God. What specific opportunity can I now find to practice these qualities?
Romans 4:13-25. Verse 24, what am I confronting at present that particularly needs the resurrection power of Jesus?
Matthew 5:13-20. As a follower of Jesus, which am I better at, being salt or being light? What would it look like for me to do more of both in 2023 than I’ve ever done in my life?
