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 2:1-12. Verse 12, by what attitudes and actions today shall I obey this command to Kiss the Son?
Micah 5:1-15. Verse 2, related, how shall I prepare my heart this day to discern what prideful humanity misses: the everlasting ruler showing up in little Bethlehem?
Hebrews 2:1-18. Verses 3 and 10, neglecting our salvation. What are the deceptions, delusions, and distractions I must overcome in order to receive the gift that is Jesus Christ?
Luke 2:1-20. Verses 8-15, related, what can I learn today from the shepherds, about how to seek and find the Holy Child?
