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 27:1-14. Verse 4, for me to behold God’s beauty today, what’s involved besides my physical eyes? The more I do this throughout the day, how do things change in my favor?
Deuteronomy 10:1-22. God’s patience in writing the Decalogue a second time, after Moses broke the first ones. When has God given me a do-over? How can I pay that forward to someone today?
Hebrews 3:12-19. Verse 14, we are made partakers of Christ. What opportunities and obligations are mine as a result? Is this theoretical or practical for me in the next 24 hours?
Matthew 8:1-13. A Roman pagan recognizes Jesus’ authority over all things in heaven and in earth. Is this theoretical or practical for me today?
