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 105:1-45. Verse 4, seek God’s face always. What attitudes and actions does this require of me today? How will I know when I’m getting somewhere?
Leviticus 25:1-55. God’s provisions for his people to be just and humane in their economic dealings with each other. Does my church need to be more alert to this?
Acts 9:1-19. Obeying Jesus, Ananias assists at the conversion Saul (Paul). What is the biggest risk I’ve ever taken for the gospel? Who is someone I know that needs me to be their Ananias right now?
Mark 2:13-17. Jesus dares to hang around with the “wrong” kind of people. What’s the present-day analogy for me to live up to? How am I doing?
