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 77:1-20. Verse 10, what past evidence of God’s care can I recall for strength in facing today’s hardest challenge?
Leviticus 7:1-38. Such sacrifices no longer being required of Christians, what does God expect of me today to demonstrate the same exactness, obedience, and solemnity?
I Corinthians 15:1-11. Verses 8-10, what has been my severest shortfall as a servant of Jesus, and his greatest act of grace to make use of me anyway?
John 1:19-27. Why has the worldly mind, from Caiaphas the priest to Peter the fisherman to Hollywood and New York today, been so frightened of Jesus for 2000 years? What test of faith awaits me before the cock next crows?
