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 41:1-13. Verse 1, how could I and my family begin doing more for the poor than we do now?
Leviticus 5:1-19. Verse 5, am I doing all that God wants me to do, by way of confessing my sins? Why does it matter?
Ezekiel 40:1-49. God shows the prophet a minutely detailed vision of the temple. Are there things I’ve been omitting from my prayer life, thinking them minor, irrelevant, of no interest to God? Time to reconsider?
John 14:15-31. Verse 27, what has my heart been troubled about of late? What would it look like to exchange that distress for the peace that Jesus alone can give—today?
