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 65:1-13.Verse 11, God crowns the year with his goodness. In what specific ways am I praying to experience this during the remaining days of 2024?

Revelation 6:9-17. Blood of the martyrs, downfall of the great, wrath ot the Lamb. Where am I in this picture? What hill would I be willing to die on?
Luke 22:1-6. Judas sets about to betray Jesus. What are the small, seemingly harmless “Judas moments” that crop up in my daily life? How can I spot those and refuse to be ensnared?
