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 141:1-10. Verse 5, when have I received a godly rebuke from someone and profited from it? Who is now my most trusted accountability partner?
I Kings 19:1-21. Verses 10-12, what do I most need to hear from God’s still small voice right now? How can I shut out the roar of spiritual distractions, wind, fire, and earthquake?
Job 11:1-20. The third would-be comforter, Zophar, disallows Job’s complaint to God. Have I grown in the skills of a wise and kindly listener to others in need? What’s my next step of growth to aim for?
Luke 4:1-15.-Jesus repels the devil’s temptations with scriptural truths. What Bible verse or story is proving to be my go-to at this season of life?
