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 36:1-12. Verse 4 KJV, God commands me to abhor evil. Is my definition of the noun as tough and honest as it should be? Is my definition of the verb as active and unsparing as it should be?
Judges 14:1-20. Verses 6 and 19, Samson is fierce and mighty in the Holy Spirit. When has the Spirit supernaturally moved in me?
II Corinthians 10:12-11:15. Verses 3 and 4, how might the serpent (the devil) try to beguile me away from Christ today? In what disguise does another Jesus or another gospel infect churches these days?
Luke 8:16-25. What’s one step I can take today to make the candle of my Christian faith more widely visible and attractive?
