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 140:1-13. Verses 4 and 5, what are some traps the enemy may set for me today? How can God help me avoid those?
Exodus 10:1-29. What were some of the leadership qualities God endowed on Moses, to equip him for the arduous conflict with Pharaoh? How do I need those same qualities as a Christian in these times?
I Peter 1:13-25. Verse 23, what is the evidence of my having been born again through Christ’s blood and God’s word? What does Jesus expect of me today as a result?
John 21:15-25. When has Jesus given me a second chance, as he did to the disloyal Peter? What does he expect of me today in return?
