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 119:1-48. Verse 45, how will the experiences awaiting me this day prove the seeming paradox that the more I obey God, the more liberty I will have?
Jeremiah 15:1-21. Verse 1, Moses and Samuel famed as mighty men of prayer. What’s one practical thing I can do today to become a better prayer warrior than I was yesterday?
Romans 6:1-14. Verse 6, what is one aspect of the “old me” that has been crucified with Jesus? What did it cost? Why was it worth doing?
Matthew 14:13-21. Am I facing a challenge right now where not-enough needs to become more-than-enough? How can I get into a posture of readiness to receive that from Jesus?
