Bible Friday 6/14: Peter Takes Charge

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 107:1-43. Verses 6-8, the city God has prepared for his loved ones. How can I get there today? As a citizen, what is asked of me and what is given me?

Leviticus 27:1-34. Completing a month in this often dry and remote book of Moses, what have I found there for which to give God thanks, and by which to obey him more faithfully?

Acts 9:32-43. Two dramatic healings by Peter in Jesus’ name. In what specific way shall I pray to witness this healing power today for myself or someone I know?

Mark 3:1-6. Verse 5, Jesus anger. What is going on right now with me and mine that may anger the Lord? What beneficial outcome from that anger shall I pray for?
