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 34:1-22. Verse 18 KJV, what heartbreak right now afflicts me or someone I know? What specific remedy shall I ask God for?
Numbers 28:1-31. Verses 16-19, since Jesus is now our Passover sacrifice once for all (see I Corinthians 5:7), what ongoing sacrifice if any does God’s holiness still require of me?
Acts 17:1-15. Verse 6 KJV, would an observer say my Christian faith is a “world upside down” way of life, or something less? Action point for today?
Mark 2:13-28. Verses 21 and 22, related question, in what way do I disappoint the Lord by my “new patch on an old coat, new wine in old bottles” tepid discipleship? Action point?
