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 23:1-6. What attitudes and actions does the Lord, my shepherd, desire from me as his sheep? What attitudes and actions does he wish to see me put off or outgrow?
Deuteronomy 9:1-29. Verse 13, related, in what way do I tend to be stiff-necked? What’s one simple thing to do today, with God’s help, to change that?
Hebrews 3:1-11. Verse 8, related again, how am I susceptible to hardness of heart? How can I specifically express the opposite today, with God’s help?
Matthew 4:18-25. In this year to come, how can I be more active and diligent in the fishing business with Jesus than I was last year?
