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 40:1-17. Verse 8, if I am truly a person who delights to do God’s will, how will my thoughts and actions express that today?
Zechariah 8:1-23. Verses 16 and 17, related, what would it look like for me, my family, and my church to radically obey these simple commands of God during Holy Week. Would there be a ripple effect?
John 12:37-50. Verse 43, seeking human praise instead of God’s praise. How does that temptation subtly work on me? What’s the antidote?
Matthew 21:18-32. Verse 21, what mountain do I hope to see God move between now and Easter?
