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 69:1-36. Verses 3, 10, and 20, what person or situation in my life am I weeping over right now? How shall I bring this to God in prayer today?
II Chronicles 15:1-19. The prophet Azariah rouses King Asa. What individuals or institutions have a godly prophetic voice in America’s public square today? An opportunity for my local church? For me?
I Thessalonians 3:1-13. Verse 12, looking around me, where am I aware of a love deficit? What would I desire to see God do about it?
Luke 15:11-32. Verse 13, when have I grieved God by my self-indulgence? Verse 28, or by my self-righteousness? What did I learn? Present application?
