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 107:1-43. Verse 2, who needs to hear about how God redeemed me from the hand of the enemy? How does the Christmas season create special opportunities for me to share in that way?
Daniel 5:1-31. Nebuchadnezzar's son, refusing to be humbled before God, pays with his life. When have I repeated—or avoided repeating—a mistake my parents made? How did God show up?
Revelation 19:1-10. Why is the marriage of the Lamb important to me? How can I be included today?
Matthew 6:5-15. Why does Jesus want me to keep my prayer life secret? How can I avoid using vain repetitions when I pray?
