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 47:1-9. Verses 1 and 5 KJV, what shall I shout to God about today, whether as petition, praise, alarm, or acclaim?
Proverbs 26:1-28. Verse 11, when have I repeatedly committed the same sin or mistake, knowing better? How did God show up?
I Corinthians 1:18-31. Why does the worldly mind regard “Christ crucified” as weak, foolish, illogical, and offensive? What secret advantage does it give me in living well and serving others?
Luke 21:1-6. What’s the closest I’ve ever come to the kind of sacrificial giving the widow exemplified? Was God pleased? Action point for today?
