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 78:41-72. Verse 41, faced recently with something very daunting and hard, have I been limiting what God can do to resolve that matter in my favor and for his glory?
Genesis 32:1-32. Verse 24, related, has God determined in his wisdom and his providence that I need a long, tough spiritual wrestling match in order to be ready for the next phase of my service to him?
Malachi 2:13-17. When have I made the mistake of trying to argue with God? What did I learn?
Matthew 12:22-32. Whose side am I going to be on all day today in every way, Jesus and his Holy Spirit or Satan and his evil spirits?
