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 104:1-35. Verse 3 KJV, God walks on the wings of the wind. How does this striking bit of poetic imagery make my day better or address my difficult problems?
I Chronicles 16:1-43. Verses 11-22, are the Jews just another ethnicity, or still in some way God’s chosen people? Is the land of Israel just another piece of real estate, or forever the Holy Land? Prayer point today?
Ephesians 2:14-22. Verse 17, how does the Cross accomplish peacemaking at a time like this, with the Mideast at war and the world on edge? Prayer point today?
Luke 13:10-21. How is the yeast of the kingdom of God at work right now in me, my family, my church, and my community? What active demand does this process make on me?
