Bible Thursday 8/22: Why They Won

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 132:1-18. Verses 3-5, putting God first. What can I do today to make sure God’s priorities are my priorities?

Joshua 10:1-43. More victories for Joshua’s army. What battle have I been taking too much upon myself, that I can entrust to God starting now?

Acts 21:1-14. Verse 5 (compare 20:36), does kneeling in prayer mean as much to me as it did to Paul and his companions?

Mark 14:43-52. Verse 47, when have I impulsively chosen the wrong way of standing up for Jesus? Present application?
