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 118:1-29. Verses 21-24, aren’t recognizing Jesus as cornerstone and recognizing God’s authority over my day, simply two ways of saying the same thing?
Joshua 16:1-10. Exactness of the land title God gave the tribe of Ephraim. What part of God’s provision for my life seems inexact and uncertain? Prayer point for today?
Acts 27:27-38. Verses 30-36, two weeks into the storm, Paul has become the leading authority figure on the ship. Was I ever (or am I now) cast in a role far beyond my human ability? How did (or will) God show up?
Luke 3:21-38. Verse 22, how does the Trinity, our three-person God, equip me for a life of significance and service in a way that no lesser deity could ever do?
