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 89:1-52. Verse 15, know the joyful sound. When I listen attentively to God, what does he want me to hear? What does joy sound like? What does the light of his face enable me to see?

I Corinthians 15:50-58. Verse 54, death swallowed in victory. Is this a part of my daily Christian walk, or is it applicable only at the end of my earthly life?
John 20:19-31. What doubts or questions is Jesus inviting me to bring to him today, so that he may clear them up and strengthen my faith?
