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 115:1-18. Verses 9-11, what do I need to have God shield me from today? What’s my role in that, beyond simply asking?

Ephesians 5:1-14. Verse 2, what would it specifically look like today for me to walk in love, imitating Jesus Christ?
Luke 15:1-10. Focusing on the 1% who need Jesus the most. Who is someone I know that fits this description. What does Jesus want me to do for that person as soon as I can, with urgency?
