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 63:1-11. Verse 3, what attitudes and actions might others notice in me today if I really believe God’s lovingkindness is better than life?
Proverbs 19:1-29. Verses 18 and 26, what lessons did I learn from going through hard times with my father and mother? How can I pay those forward at this season of my life?
I Corinthians 1:10-17. What is it that makes the Christian churches in my city so divided from one another? What opportunities for the gospel are lost as a result? What can my church do about it?
Matthew 18:10-14. When have I experienced the seeking and saving love of Jesus when he left the 99 to rescue me, his lost one? Who needs to hear my testimony about this today?
