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 14:1-7. Verse 7, on this election day, do I look for salvation from politics or from the living God?
Isaiah 10:1-34. Related, verses 20-22, if government and politics continue to worsen, if social and economic ills compound, what will be required of me, my family, and my church as part of God’s remnant?
Philippians 1:1-18. Verses 9-11, for what person shall I speak this exact prayer today, filling in the details as needed?
Luke 17:20-37. Is Jesus here warning us that the world crisis will get worse before it gets better? What qualities of Noah and Lot shall I pray God gives me, so that I may withstand the coming storm?
