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 94:1-23. Verse 12, when has God chastened me with hard lessons? What did I learn? Application for today?
Isaiah 42:1-25. How does the work of God’s long-awaited Servant (ultimately revealed as Jesus of Nazareth) make everything different in my life right now, everything better?
Revelation 14:14-20. The Son of man, helped by angels, reaps the grapes of God’s wrath. Is this a future occurrence, or taking place now? Does it threaten me or benefit me?
Matthew 3:13-17. If Jesus underwent baptism as a step toward fulfilling all righteousness, am I giving my own baptism all the importance that the Father, Son, and Sprit want me to? Action point for today?
