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 89:1-52. Verse 33, nevertheless. When has God kept faith with me, even though I broke faith with him? What did I learn? Present application?
II Samuel 21:1-22. Bloodshed continues to beset David’s reign. Should I be devoting more time to prayer and less to politics?
II Peter 1:1-11. Verses 5-7, which of these Christlike qualities shall I particularly ask God to express in me today? How will others notice?
Mark 13:28-37. What does Jesus want me to be watching for today? What are the stakes, what’s to be gained and lost?
