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 126:1-6. Verses 5 and 6, sow in tears, reap in joy. To what long hard trial in my life right now does this promise of God apply?
Exodus 16:1-36. Fed with manna day by day. When have I had to learn to go at God’s pace, no short cuts? Present application?
I Corinthians 11:17-22. What practices and rules might I begin requiring of myself, so that the routine of “going to church” becomes more truly holy and reverential toward God?
John 6:22-40. Verses 31-35, what else beside the sacrament of communion does Jesus expect of me in order to partake fully of him as the bread of life?
