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 27;1-14. Verse 4, behold the beauty of the Lord. How shall I go about doing this today? What may be the result and the reward?
Leviticus 1:1-17. Given that the self-offering of Jesus has replaced the sacrificial system of Moses, what offering does God desire from me today, here and now?
Ezekiel 34:1-31. What is the most notable occasion on which I’ve ever felt the shepherding hand of God upon me? Application to present needs?
John 8:48-59. Verses 56-58, why is it good news for me today, whatever I’m facing, to realize that Jesus companioned with Abraham and predated him?
