Bible Monday 2/5: Against Irreverence

Studying this morning's 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 89:1-52. Verse 7, reverence for God. What does that look like in one’s everyday life here and now? Where did I fall short yesterday? Why does the worldly mind glorify irreverence?

Hebrews 13:18-25. Verses 20 and 21, what’s going on this day in myself, my family, or my community, where resurrection power is most needed?

Matthew 12:43-45. Related, where is spiritual warfare and the wiles of Satan most active in my life at present? How shall I take refuge in God today?
