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 30:1-12. Verses 5 and 11, what is the sorrow I’m asking God to turn into joy for me today?
Isaiah 16:1-14. Verse 6, why is human pride offensive to God? What's the antidote for my pride today?
Philippians 4:8-23. Verse 19, what are the needs—health, relationships, finances, employment—that I‘m trusting God to supply for me today? How do the glorious riches of Jesus bring this about?
Luke 19:1-10. The taxman risks his all. Which is more important to me right now, connecting personally with Jesus or not drawing attention to myself? What’s at stake?
