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 5:1-12. Verse 3, do I put God first in the morning, or put something else first? Why does it matter?
I Samuel 19:1-24. The Holy Spirit protects David from Saul’s murderous intent. What would it look like for me to invite the Spirit, equally with the Father and the Son, more fully into my daily walk?
Acts 16:1-15. Paul, shorthanded after breaking with Barnabas, finds a new companion in Timothy. What spiritual need am I feeling at present, which I can bring before Jesus in prayer?
Mark 7:1-13. What pharisaical attitudes, perhaps even in my own family, do I need to get rid of in order to follow Jesus more faithfully?
