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 65:1-13. Verse 11, what are some outstanding proofs of God’s goodness to me and mine, with which this year of 2023 is gloriously crowned forever?
II Chronicles 31:1-21. Israel’s outpouring of tithes under King Hezekiah. What would it look like for me to start rendering back to God a more lavish portion of all that he has given me?
Revelation 9:1-12. Bottomless pit with locusts and scorpions. Do I take hell as seriously as Jesus and the Bible writers did? What is at risk if I’m wrong?
Luke 17:11-19. A Samaritan sets the Jews an example of true gratitude to God. Of everyone I know, who best expresses a grateful Christian heart? How can I start being more like that person?
