Bible Saturday 1/6: Shema

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 67:1-7. Verse 2 KJV, thy saving health. How does this compare with the worldly understanding of health in our times? What must I do today to begin experiencing God’s saving health?

Deuteronomy 6:1-25. Verses 4-7, how is my family doing so far in passing down the faith of the one true God generationally? What do we need to start doing better?

Matthew 2:1-12. Gifts of the Magi. What precious personal gift can I give the Lord Jesus today and every day throughout the coming year?

John 2:1-12. What miracle, perhaps as astonishing as turning the water to wine, shall I ask Jesus to do for me or a loved one today? Do I ask in doubt or in faith?
