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 13:1-6. Verse 5, what discouraging, drawn-out situation in my life calls for the defiant assertion of “But God” as I start this day?
Proverbs 2:1-22. Verses 3-5, if knowing God is really more important to me than treasures of silver, how might others notice that by my actions today?
Romans 10:14-21. Who gave the best sermons I’ve ever heard? What would it look like if I set out to preach the gospel not with sermons, but with my life?
Matthew 6:25-34. How does my concern about tomorrow get in the way of my seeking first the kingdom of God today?
