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 69:1-36. Verse 33, how can I be used of God to help the poor at this holiday season?
II Chronicles 33:1-25. Israel’s defiance of God goes from bad to worse under Manasseh and Amon. How can I maintain faith and hope amid the wickedness that seems to dominate our country today?
Revelation 10:1-11. Verse 9, in my experience, how has the gospel proved to be both bitter and sweet? How can I draw on Jesus Christ for the strength to persevere regardless?
Matthew 24:1-14. Verse 12, what does Jesus know about me that would cause him to warn that my love may grow cold? How shall I prevent this today?
