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 132:1-18. Verses 3-5, David’s vow to prioritize God as never before. What would it specifically look like if I set about to prioritize God more today than I did yesterday?
I Samuel 11:1-15. Seized by the Spirit, Saul wins a battle and then solidifies his kingship. Is there something I’ve been trying to do lately all on my own, that I should hand over to the Holy Spirit today?
Acts 13:42-52. Angry Jews chase Barnabas and Paul out of Pisidia. Am I more inclined to freely give away my faith, or to hoard it?
Mark 5:21-43. Verses 27-29, what’s involved, in spiritual terms, for me to just touch the edge of Jesus’ robe today? If I do it, what might be the result?
