Bible Friday 12/29: Ready or Not

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 145:1-21. Verses 3-7, looking back over the past year, what acts of God’s goodness to me and mine stand out in memory?

Jonah 2:1-10. What is the most desperate prayer I ever uttered? How did God show up? Present application?

Revelation 21:1-8. Verse 5, from God’s throne, all things made new. What do I most desire for Him to make new in the coming year of 2024?

Matthew 25:1-13. What practical steps shall I take today in obedience to Jesus’ teaching that only those who are prepared and watchful can attend his marriage feast?
