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 97:1-12. Verse 10 KJV, why does it seem so much harder in my everyday life to hate evil than to love God? What’s the consequence of failing to do so?
Leviticus 19:1-37. Verse 16, why does God forbid me to gossip? How does this bear upon my use of all kinds of media?
Acts 5:33-42. Flogged for proclaiming Jesus, the apostles count it an honor and rejoice. What opportunity can I find today or one day soon to receive a similar “honor”?
John 19:1-11. Related, if I were to begin praying each day for an experience of thorns even remotely similar to that of King Jesus, where might this lead?
