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 29:1-11. What shall I pray that God’s voice will decree, ordain, and accomplish for my benefit today?
Proverbs 19:1-29. Verses 20, 21, 27, how should I revise my daily intake of media, news, and entertainment to affirm the fear of the Lord?
Romans 14:14-23. Verse 15, how would this day be different if I treat every person I encounter, no matter how briefly, as someone “for whom Christ died”?
Matthew 20:17-28. James, John, and their mother ask Jesus to play favorites. How does this temptation subtly get at me? What is God’s remedy?
