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 51:1-19. If I learned this psalm by heart, some or all of it, for frequent meditation, would that help me go deeper with the disciplines of confession and repentance?
Ezekiel 42:1-20. Is it likely that God’s blueprint for my life is any less detailed and exacting than this blueprint for his temple? How shall I go about consulting and implementing the former?
Acts 2:1-21. Pentecost comes upon the apostles with power. When have I been part of a great move of the Holy Spirit? How did it change me? Action point for today?
John 16:5-15. The Son explains he’s going to the Father and sending the Spirit for his kingdom’s next phase. What do I need from the Spirit today? What does he need from me?
