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 69:1-36. Verses 7-9, what if I had to choose between my closest family relationships and my relationship with God? Why is it worthwhile to stand with God no matter what?
Ezekiel 14:1-23. Verses 14-20, greatness of Noah, Daniel, and Job as men of prayer. Who is someone, personally known to me, that I regard as a mighty exemplar of Christian prayer? Action point for today?
I Corinthians 10:23-11:1. Verse 31, do all to the glory of God. What would it look like if my focus today was more on my duties than on my rights, more on what I owe than on what is owed me?
John 4:27-38. Verse 34, related, my meat is to do the will of God. What specific opportunity is Jesus giving me to live up to this today?
