Bible Thursday 7/20: Extreme Makeover

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 51:1-19. Was there ever a time in my life when this psalm really hit me hard and helped me find my way back to God? How does it apply to my present situation today?

Numbers 33:1-56. Verses 50-53, God wants the Promised Land fully possessed by Israel, fully purged of its previous inhabitants. Is there anything God has commanded me to do, that I have left half done?

Acts 19:1-10. Verses 4-6, what new power for kingdom work might I begin to experience if I call more faithfully on the name of Jesus Christ?

Mark 10:13-22. Verse 15, what childlike qualities is Jesus asking of me as I go about the activities of this day?
