Bible Thursday 2/1: It's Going Down

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 78:41-72. Verse 52, in what specific ways do I need to experience God’s shepherding love and care today?

Deuteronomy 32:1-52. Verses 15-40, Moses describes God as the Rock whom Israel dearly needs yet recklessly disobeys. What do I dearly need from the Rock today? What does obeying him involve?

Hebrews 12:12-24. Verse 15, what attitudes and actions could cause me to miss out on the grace of God today? Action point?

Matthew 12:22-30. What good things may befall me today if I keep company with Jesus as he binds the strong man, Satan?
