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 127:1-5. Verse 1, what important matter have I been taking too much upon myself recently, when I ought to be trusting God with it first and foremost?
I Chronicles 29:1-30. Verses 11-19, related, for what specific request or need shall I offer this urgent prayer today?
Philippians 1:19-30. Verse 27, what exactly would it look like for me to think and act as an exemplar of the gospel of Christ, all throughout this day?
Luke 18:1-8. What’s one or more petitions of prayer that I am weary and discouraged from bringing to God for so long with no apparent answer? Can I summon up the faith to do it yet again, today and tomorrow?
