Bible Monday 1/1: Astonishing

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 1:1-6. Verse 2, in what way does God’s law delight me? How would other people notice that in my everyday life?

Deuteronomy 1:1-46. Verses 8, 21, 39, go in and possess the land. What major step forward, in serving Him, is God commanding me to take this year? Action point for today?

Luke 2:21. What are some things about my identity, purpose, and destiny that God had irrevocably established before I was ever born?

John 1:1-18. Verse 17, how does the grace that came by Jesus Christ make this a better day for me? How does the truth that came by Jesus Christ make this a better day for me?
