Bible Friday 11/10: Ministers Who Measure Up

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 31:1-24. Verse 20, what secrets are known only to myself and God? How does that protect and benefit me today?

II Chronicles 18:1-34. King Ahab spurns God’s prophet, practices deceit, and dies in battle. When have self-will, ambition, and anger brought me to grief? Present application?

Malachi 2:1-12. God’s judgment against the unfaithful priests. By what seductions do we see Satan alluring ministers, pastors, and clergy today? What is my church doing about it?

Luke 21:7-19. What does Jesus want me to do in order to be ready for the end times? What does he not want me to do?
