Bible Friday 8/25: Paul at Rome

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 133:1-3. What can I do today that practically contributes to the unity of all my brothers and sisters in Christ? What’s at stake?

Joshua 19:1-51. Exactness of the land title God gave the six remaining tribes. What part of God’s provision for my life seems inexact and uncertain? Prayer point for today?

Acts 28:17-31. When the Jews at Rome won’t accept Christ, Paul turns elsewhere. Who is there, among all my acquaintances, that the Holy Spirit might point out as ready (though unlikely) ears for the gospel?

Luke 4:31-41. Verses 34 and 41, how does the demons’ familiarity with Jesus figure into my work today as His defender and witness?
