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 46:1-11. Verse 4, how can I access this river of God, to partake of its benefits today?
Judges 18:1-31. Israel beset by anarchy, political and religious. Is America headed for something like this? What is my church doing about it? My role?
II Corinthians 12:14-13:14. Verses 3-5, in what specific way, relying on the power of Jesus Christ crucified, shall I ask him to turn my weakness into strength today?
Luke 9:1-9. Jesus sends out the Twelve. Verses 3-5, what excess baggage can I leave behind in serving the Lord today? What unproductive uses of time and thought should I abandon for Christ’s sake?
