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 86:1-17. Verse 11 KJV, unite my heart. What’s to be done in those stormy times when part of me trusts God and part of me doubts him?

Galatians 5:16-26. Related, in all honesty was my day yesterday more about the fruits of the Spirit or the works of the flesh? How can I specifically do better today, bearing down hard?
Luke 12:1-12. Verses 8 and 9, what opportunity will I soon have to confess Jesus Christ in an important setting—if I love him enough?
