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 46:1-11. What’s in the news right now that seems like an awful earthquake or flood for us all? How can I go about taking refuge with God today—and standing with courage?
II Kings 18:1-37. Verses 25-29, Assyrian propaganda tries to frighten the Israelites into submission. How do we see Satan aiming the same mental attack at God’s people today? What’s my defense in God?
Job 26:1-14. Mysteries of the Almighty reduce Job to trembling awe. Is my Christian walk sometimes like this? Should it be?
Luke 8:1-10. When the seed Jesus sows with me in morning devotions is left rootless and fruitless an hour later, what have I allowed the enemy to do in me? How can I do better hour by hour today?
