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 94:1-23. Verses 7-10, when have I tried to hide something from God? What did I learn? Present application?
II Samuel 24:1-25. Do I sometimes need God’s protection from actions that are impulsive, self-willed, over-confident, or headstrong?
II Peter 2:12-22. Verse 9, bondage in the guise of liberty. How does this describe the cultural trends and beliefs of our times? What is my church doing about it?
Mark 14:12-21. Even though I’m no Judas, are there small, subtle, everyday betrayals of Jesus that I must guard against?
