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 19:1-14. Verse 12 KJV, given that secret faults are, by definition, hard to spot in oneself, what sins may I be nursing in darkness? What does God want me to do about it today?
Judges 8:1-35. Verses 22 and 23, Gideon declines the kingship. Amid many current problems, how are God’s people tempted to seek a political rather than a spiritual solution? What’s at stake?
II Corinthians 7:8-12. When has godly sorrow moved me to repentance? What’s the lesson for needs I’m facing now?
Luke 7:11-17. Who do I know that is grieving right now, that needs to hear a word from me about the consoling love of Christ?
