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 144:1-15. Verse 1, what do I need to have God teach me today about war and fighting? What’s at stake?
Exodus 22:1-31. Verses 23 and 27, God sits as a court of final appeal against injustice. Do I and my church pay sufficient attention to the matter of justice in human affairs?
I Peter 5:1-14. Verse 8, what form may attacks upon me by our adversary, the devil, take today? What is my defense in Jesus Christ?
John 5:31-47. Verses 39 and 46, how am I blessed today by realizing that Jesus’ messiahship is attested by Moses and the entire Old Testament?
