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 46:1-17. Verses 3-7, picturing Jesus as the mighty captain of God’s army, how am I to do my part as one of his soldiers—in practical everyday terms this very hour?
Leviticus 1:1-17. Verses 9, 13, 17, an offering by fire, a sweet savor to the Lord. What can I learn and apply in my worship of God today, from this sacrificial system that Jesus entirely transcended?
Nahum 1:1-15. Verse 15, what is the good news from God’s holy mountain for my specific needs and circumstances right now?
John 14:12-24. Verses 13 and 14, praying in Jesus’ name. How can I more trustingly enlist the Son’s aid for every prayer I send up to the Father’s throne today?
