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 118:1-29. Verse 9, how am I confronted today with a specific choice between trusting human authority and trusting God?
I Samuel 2:1-36. God’s anger at the corruption of Israel’s priesthood. What are the worst pitfalls awaiting persons in ministry these days? How can I and my family better support such persons?
Acts 10:17-33. Peter breaks a taboo to meet with the centurion. What kingdom assignment, outside my comfort zone, does God have for me right now?
Mark 3:13-19. Jesus ordains the twelve to be with him. If my top priority day by day this week was just “being with Jesus,” what would that look like in practice?
