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 77:1-20. Verse 3, what am I facing right now that feels overwhelming? Have I been completely honest with God about it? What is stronger at present, my faith or my fear?
Ezekiel 16:1-63. Verse 60, when has God said to me “nevertheless,” and kept covenant with me even though I broke covenant with him? How can I show him my gratitude today?
I Corinthians 12:1-11. What is one or more spiritual gifts that God has endowed in me? How can I make fuller use of that gift this year than I did last year? First step today?
John 4:46-54. A father’s desperation. What shall I think, say, and do today in order to throw myself completely at Jesus’ feet, holding nothing back?
