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 89:1-52. Verse 6, God incomparable. What am I tempted to compare with God, or to put ahead of him in my daily thoughts and activities? How shall I counter that today?

Acts 17:16-34. Verse 28, how can this identification, specifically applied to myself, make a difference in my day today?
Mark 12:13-17. Overall, how are Christians in America doing today on this balance of rendering to Caesar and to God? What are the stakes? What is my church doing about it? My role?
