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 119:49-88. Verses 49, 52, 55, God remembers me and I remember him. Which of us is the weak link in that mutual remembrance? What’s to be done?
Numbers 2:1-34. God decrees the tribes’ order of encampment and order of march. What precise directions does God have for my service to him this day, this summer, this year? How can I know them?
Acts 8:26-40. The Ethiopian learns that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Who needs to hear that good news from me today or one day soon? First step?
Mark 2:13-17. Related, how far out of my comfort zone does Jesus want me to go to make him known? What might that actually look like if I’m brave enough?
