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 118:1-29. Verses 22-24, starting this day, how can I make the crucified and risen Jesus Christ the cornerstone of my life as never before?
Exodus 1:1-22. Infanticide in ancient Egypt. What is my church doing to protect unborn children, Down’s and other handicapped persons, the aged and other “medical suicide” targets? My role?
Mark 16:1-8. By what thoughts and actions did these women prepare themselves to become witnesses of the empty tomb? Present application for me?
Mark 16:9-20. Verses 15 and 16, at present am I doing a lot or a little to fulfill the risen Lord’s great commission to spread the gospel everywhere? First step for me to take it up a notch?
