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 9:1-20. Verse 1 KJV, going about my day, what will make the difference between half-hearted and wholehearted devotion to God? Why does it matter?
Proverbs 11:1-31. Verse 9, when have I been guilty of hypocrisy? Who was harmed? Present application?
Romans 11:1-10. Verses 2-5, God’s faithful remnant in troubled times. Are my church, my family, and I part of it? What is therefore expected of us? What is offered to us?
Matthew 17:22-27. How Jesus provides financially for his chosen ones, with loud or quiet power. Present application for me and for the ministries I care about?
