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 67:1-7. Verse 2 KJV, God’s saving health. How is this more than the everyday bodily health I seek to maintain? When have I experienced it? Where do I particularly need to experience it today?
Leviticus 7:1-38. More offerings commanded by the Lord. What can I learn and apply in my worship of God today, from this sacrificial system that Jesus entirely transcended?
Ruth 2:1-23. Verse 12, what would it look like for me to abide trustingly today under the wings of the Lord God of Israel, as Ruth did?
John 16:16-24. Verses 20-22, Jesus promises to turn our sorrow into joy. In what specific way shall I pray for him to do this today?
