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 119:1-48. Verses 2 and 10, what keeps me from seeking God with my whole heart? How can I do a little better on that today than I did yesterday?
Daniel 9:1-27. Daniel is said to be one of the mightiest intercessors in the entire Bible. How can I bring to my prayer life the fervency of confession, brokenness, remorse, and repentance that he shows here?
Philippians 4:4-9. Verse 6, what is something I have been worrying about, which today I will instead entrust to God with prayer and supplication?
Luke 1:57-80. Verse 79, where shall I pray God to send the light of his Son Jesus today, into the darkness concerning me personally or concerning out world?
