Bible Friday 9/1: To Save Life

Studying this morning's three 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 1:1-6. Verse 2 KJV, what steps can I take today to more fully meditate on God, not just think of him or speak of him? What result might I then expect?

Judges 2:1-23. Israel’s cycle of repeated infidelity and repentance after Joshua’s death. When have I gone in circles, straying from God again and again? What did I learn?

Luke 6:1-11. Do I take the sabbath as seriously as Jesus took it? Why does it matter?
