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 51:1-19. Verse 5, do I believe I’m basically a good person, or do I believe my sin is genetic, innate? How does this answer shape my whole day today?
Proverbs 27:1-27. Verse 19, who is there, outside my own family, that I trust enough to unreservedly share all, heart to heart?
I Corinthians 2:1-16. Verses 7 and 8, what is God’s mystery, his hidden wisdom, that is made known to us in Jesus Christ? What opportunity and what obligation are mine because of it?
Matthew 24:3-14. What does Jesus want me to do, with his help, to be ready for the end times? Action point today?
