Bible Thursday 3/9: Overcome

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 19:1-14. Verse 14, as I pray this prayer and God answers it, how will all the people around me begin to notice a difference?

Proverbs 15:1-33. Verse 22, who provides me with wise and godly counsel? Who else should I draw into that circle? What’s at stake?

Romans 12:9-21. Verse 13, how can I be more hospitable? Why does God ask this of me?

Matthew 19:1-12. Does my church take divorce as seriously as Jesus did? What are the consequences?
