Bible Friday 12/15: Gospel Power

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 111:1-10. Verse 10, what would it look like for me to approach each day between now and Christmas full of the fear of the Lord?

Daniel 7:1-28. Verses 15 and 28, when my thoughts are troubled and disturbed, what does God want me to do to obtain peace?

I Thessalonians 1:1-10. Verse 5, what exactly does Paul mean by gospel power, and where do I need to experience that in my life right now?

Matthew 7:1-6. Verse 3, is there someone with whom I have been feeling annoyed or impatient lately, where the first step is really to straighten myself out?
