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 77:1-20. Verses 6-14, vowing to remember God’s goodness to me. What shall I specifically dwell upon in grateful remembrance today?
Job 37:1-24. Elihu concludes, appealing to Job again for humble reverence at God’s throne. Don’t I often tend to put God in a box for my convenience, thinking to “use” God or “tame” him for an easier life?
II Corinthians 3:1-18. Related, in what way do I allow a “veil” to come between me and the full glory of God in Jesus Christ?
Luke 9:51-56. How can I find opportunities today to present Christ not with commands but with invitations, not with fear but with love?
