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 119:49-88. Verses 67, 71, 75, when has God used affliction to draw me nearer him and advance my spiritual growth? Present application?
I Chronicles 24:1-31. Honor roll of David’s appointees to the priestly office. What person in ministry can I thank, encourage, and assist today or one day soon?
Ephesians 5:22-33. Verses 25-27, in what way is Christ sacrificially loving my church at present, sanctifying it to be more glorious and holy? What’s my role in that process?
Luke 16:1-13. Verse 13, how am I vulnerable to the sin of trying to serve two masters, not Jesus alone? Action point?
