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 103:1-22. Verses 13-17, what reminder do I have today that I am dust? What would God’s pity and mercy toward me, in relation to that, look like?
II Chronicles 3:1-17. Now that God intends each Christian to be his holy temple, what are some details of the glorious design and decor he is realizing in me?
James 1:21-27. Verses 22 and 26, self-deception. When have I fallen into this? How did God shake me out of it? Application for today?
Luke 13:10-17. Verses 15 and 1 6, where do we now see this tendency to value animals more than human beings? What’s going on spiritually when this occurs? What can I do about it?
