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 130:1-8. Verses 3 and 4, for what specific offenses do I need God’s forgiveness today? What action is thereby required of me?
Joshua 18:1-28. Exactness of the land title God gave the tribe of Benjamin. What part of God’s provision for my life seems inexact and uncertain? Prayer point for today?
Acts 28:7-16. Publius’s father, very ill, is healed by Paul in Jesus’ name. Whom do I know that is in distress right now and needs me to be the messenger of the love and power of Jesus Christ?
Luke 4:14-30. The Jews of Nazareth violently reject the village’s native son, Jesus. What’s the lesson here for my church? What part must I play personally?
