Bible Monday 1/21: Seek Ye First

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 9:1-20. Verse 12 KJV, today what are some ways I can heed - and begin to answer - the cry of the humble?

Genesis 21:1-34. Verse 17, what adjustment of my theology is suggested by God’s care for this unlovable mother and child?

Galatians 4:21-31. Verses 24-26, which of the two covenants do I live under? What practical difference does it make to me today?

Matthew 6:25-34. Verse 33, what’s one specific thing I can do today to live into this command more fully?
