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?
Psalm 2:1-12. Verse 1 KJV, what are some current examples of heathen raging and vain imagining? Why does it occur? How shall I pray about it?.
Numbers 35:1-34. Verse 6, how do these God-ordained cities of refuge resemble or differ from the politically controversial sanctuary cities in current news? Prayer point?
II Peter I:12-21. Verse 20 KJV, how is private interpretation of Scripture an issue for me, my church, and fellow Christians? What is the antidote?
Mark 9:2-8. What do I learn from the presence of Moses and Elijah in this scene? Why does the transfiguration of Jesus matter to me on this day?
