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 14:1-7. Looking around in my community, what are the consequences of more and more people believing there is no God? What is my church doing about it? My role?
II Kings 6:1-33. Verses 15-17, shall I pray this morning for the spiritual eyesight to realize I’m surrounded not by danger and difficulty but by God’s protective fire?
Job 19:1-29. Related, verses 25-27, how is everything made better for me today by the assurance that my Redeemer lives?
Luke 6:12-19. Jesus continues all night in prayer. When I say it’s not possible for me to find a few more minutes each day to converse with God, is that actually because I can’t, or simply because I won’t?
