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 70:1-5. What situation in my life at present moves me to plead for God to make haste, delay not, hurry, show up right now? Is this a prayer of self-will or of selfless faith?

Revelation 9:13-21. Ample warnings ignored by unrepentant sinners. What should be my attitude toward the defiantly godless multitudes in our wicked world?
Luke 22:24-30. How does the egotism of “who shall be greatest” seek to ensnare me, even in the very shadow of Christ’s cross?
