Bible Thursday 8/17: Never Forgotten

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 116:1-19. Verse 15, who that has died, keeping faith with God, is due my homage and love today?

Joshua 11:1-23. Joshua completes the conquest of the Promised Land. What commission has God given me, with which I’m only partly finished at present? Action point for today?

Acts 26:1-11. Verse 9, when have I been headed in exactly the wrong direction, and headstrong about it, before God intervened and turned me around? Application for today?

Mark 15:21-32. Verse 21, Simon of Cyrene. In what practical way can I participate in Christ’s sufferings today?
