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 71:1-24. Verses 17 and 18, what would it specifically look like today for me to express, with God’s help, both the best qualities of my younger self and the best qualities of my older self?
II Samuel 13:1-39. A deadly love triangle in David’s family. Does my church take the problem of sin as seriously as God’s word in the Bible would have us do? Action point for today?
Acts 28:11-31. Verses 28 and 29, when has my determination to obey God caused the rupture of a relationship? What did I learn?
Mark 12:1-12. Verse 7, in these times, what does the worldly mind hope to gain by getting rid of Jesus? What role can I play in resisting that today?
