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 35:1-28. Verse 11, when have I been lied about or falsely accused? How did God show up?
Proverbs 20:1-30. Verse 1, when have I seen alcohol do great harm to someone? For what purpose might God have brought this matter to my thought today?
Romans 15:14-21. Paul sums up his lifework without false modesty, crediting all to the Father, Son, and Spirit. For what kingdom purpose has Jesus been using me, with the best yet to come?
Matthew 20:29-34. Verse 31, two blind men who won’t cease crying out for God’s mercy. What prayer of mine, not answered as yet, shall I redouble in fervency today?
