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 41:1-13. Verse 4, Lord, heal my soul. Is this a need right now for me or someone I know? How can I obtain such healing?
Deuteronomy 16:1-22. Establishing sacred feast days. How much importance does my church attach to the calendar of the Christian year? Why does it matter?
Genesis 14:14-24. Melchizedek, king and priest, blesses Abraham. Am I a deficient Christian, in seldom giving any thought to these ancient, outmoded figures of king and priest?
Matthew 9:9-13. What am I praying that Jesus the Great Physician will do for me or a loved one today? Do I pray with faith or doubt?
