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 33:1-22. Verses 10 and 11, counsel of God vs. counsel of the godless. Going about my day today, what may be a moment when I must choose which of those to entertain and obey?
Exodus 35:1-35. Verses 5, 21, 29, the willing heart. How can I more fully realize in myself today that disposition of selfless service to God and God’s people?
I Corinthians 12:12-31. What are some ways my church lives up to this description of the body of Christ? What are some ways in which we need to improve? My role?
John 10:1-6. Verse 3, in that Jesus the Good Shepherd knows me and each member of my family by name, what can I expect of him today? What does he expect of me?
