Bible Saturday 5/20: Prince of Peace

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 49:1-20. Verses 10-15, what false treasures of earth have I been valuing too highly, and what eternal treasures of God have I valued too lightly, as the final reckoning draws ever nearer? Action point for today?

Leviticus 2:1-16. More offerings by fire.. What can I learn and apply in my worship of God today, from this sacrificial system that Jesus entirely transcended?

Nahum 2:1-13. Lions prowl in the ruins of Nineveh. What would it look like for me to start prioritizing God’s power and glory over political power and glory? How would others notice?

John 14:25-31. Verse 27, what area of my life is most in need of the peace that Jesus Christ alone can give?
