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 37:1-40. Verse 7 KJV, what’s making me impatient or fretful right now? What would it look like for me rest patiently in the Lord today?
Genesis 16:1-16. Sarai arranges for Abram to have a son, Ismael, by the servant woman, Hagar. When have I tried to “help” God by willfully forcing a situation? What did I learn?
Hebrews 8:1-13. Verse 10, what do I find written on my heart and mind, concerning my unbreakable relationship with God? What attitudes and actions are therefore required of me today?
Matthew 6:1-15. Why does God want my prayers to be a secret between him and me? How can I more fully practice this today?
