Bible Monday 6/26: Exiles Unbowed

Studying this morning's 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 137:1-9. Remembering Zion no matter what. What protection, provision, and privileges are guaranteed me from God today in my heavenly home, regardless of my earthly circumstances?

Numbers 9:1-23. God sends a cloud to regulate Israel’s journey. What important step have I been undertaking or planning recently, without first submitting it to God for his guidance? Action point today?

Mark 3:28-35. Jesus invites me to consider myself his brother. What treasures then become mine? What discipline and duties are expected of me? How does today become altogether different?
