Bible Monday 10/14: Nehemiah on the Brink

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 108:1-13. Verse 12, what situation am I facing right now where human help is in vain? What shall I trust God to do instead?

Nehemiah 1:1-11. Nehemiah laments for the sad condition of Jerusalem. What is my heart’s desire to be used by God for kingdom work in the days and weeks to come?

Galatians 2:1-10. Paul and Peter harmonize their respective mission fields. Who is my closest ally or allies in advancing the gospel? What’s the next step in our collaboration?

Luke 12:41-48. If Jesus returns today, what do I want him to find me doing?
