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 52:1-9. Verses 6-8, what has been a source of worry or dread for me lately, at which God now invites me to laugh with confidence in Him?

Nahum 3:1-13. Nineveh, whore of the nations, facing ruin. If I were told that my country is headed for a divine condemnation such as this, what should be my response as a Christian?
John 15:9-17. Verse 12, when Jesus commands us to love each other in an extravagant and sacrificial way, what would it specifically look like for me to take baby steps in that direction this week?
