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 37:1-40. Verses 1, 7, 8 KJV, fret not. What have I been fretting about lately? What is God’s remedy for a fretful mind? Action point for today?
II Kings 15:1-38. Failure after failure in the Israelites’ dual monarchy. How much better really is America’s democracy today? Isn’t the kingship of Jesus what truly matters most? What is my church doing about it?
Numbers 21:4-9. To murmur against God is to take in hand a deadly serpent. Am I sometimes guilty of this?
John 3:11-17. How can I keep better focus today than I did yesterday on Christ crucified, Jesus the Son of God lifted up on the cross for my sins?
