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 44:1-26. Verses 6-8, in dealing with a problem recently, have I been relying too much on self-help or human help, and not enough on God’s help?

Hebrews 7:1-10. Verse 3, how does it make this day better, to have Jesus as my high priest?
Matthew 9:14-17. Thinking about my own walk with Jesus in the year 2024, what’s an example of an old wine bottle or old coat that he wants me to discard right now?
