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 146:1-10. Verses 3-5, today amid all the political noise, how can I place more trust in God’s government and less in human government?
I Kings 22:1-53. King Ahab dies in battle after seeking God’s endorsement of his self-will. When have I tried to manipulate God? How did it work out?
Job 14:1-22. Weary of the struggle, Job asks God what’s the point of it all. At the times when I have been very discouraged and drained as a Christian, what got me through it? Present application?
Luke 4:38-44. Verse 40, sunset puts no stop to Jesus’ healing ministry. What assignment has God given me that requires supernatural stamina and staying power? How can I access those right now?
