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 46:1-11. Verse 4, God’s river of gladness. How can I gain access to it? How will it benefit me today?
Ezekiel 43:1-27. Verses 10 and 11, measure the pattern; keep the whole form. What small victory have I won recently, doing more faithfully what God expects of me? What’s the next small victory I can now aim for?
Acts 2:22-39. Peter’s sermon on Pentecost, proclaiming Jesus. Who is one person that needs to hear from me the good news of Christ crucified and risen for remission of our sins—today or very soon?
John 14:1-14. Verse 6, how can I paraphrase this famous statement by Jesus, into everyday conversational terms for a winsome presentation of the gospel?
