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 35:1-28. When have I experienced betrayal, desertion, or injustice? How did God show up? Application to present needs?
Zechariah 10:1-12. How is God’s flock ill served by false or unfaithful shepherds in these times? What is my church doing about it?
Matthew 22:15-46. Verses 36-40, when newcomers show up at my church for services during Holy Week, how distinctly will we as members impress them with our fervent love for God and neighbor?
Matthew 25:1-13. How can I use the devotions of these next few days to lay in more oil for my lamp so I’m equipped for the long vigil as we await Christ our Bridegroom?
