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 6:1-10. When have I asked God to spare me from well-deserved punishment? What did I learn? Present application?
Jeremiah 31:1-40. Verses 29 and 30, why does God want us to understand that guilt is not hereditary, responsibility is personal? Does my church understand this? My role?
Romans 12:9-21. Verse 12, how can I approach nearer today than I did yesterday to God’s invitation for us to pray without ceasing?
Matthew 20:17-28. Verses 25-27, what clear opportunity do I have at this stage of my life to practice servant leadership as Jesus commanded? First step today?
