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 101:1-8. Verses 2-4, purging wickedness from my heart and mind in order to draw nearer God. Where have I become lax? Action point for today?
Leviticus 23:1-44. Feast days to be observed annually by the Israelites. What was lost when God’s people left off structuring the year by a sacred calendar? How can I and my family recover some of that structure?
Acts 8:4-25. A sorcerer in Samaria accepts Christ but assumes God’s power is for sale. In what way does the commercializing of the gospel creep into my church?
Mark 1:40-45. How do I or someone dear to me need to feel the compassionate healing touch of Jesus’ hand today?
