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 68:1-35. Verse 19 KJV, God loads us with benefits. Is this truly my situation, or do I feel loaded with worries and woes? What’s to be done?
Numbers 10:1-36. God ordains two silver trumpets to rouse the Israelites. What is the spiritual equivalent today for him to summon all the faithful to fight, fast, or feast? How good a listener am I?
Acts 12:1-19. Verses 5 and 12, gathered prayer, unceasing prayer, leads to Peter’s deliverance from prison. What more could my church be doing to pray with might and purpose? My role?
Mark 4:1-12. Verse 8, related, what am I currently praying about, where I hope for a move of God one hundred times greater than the world would expect? Do I believe he can do it?
