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 124:1-8. Verse 7 KJV, with God’s help, what’s an escape I have made or need to make? What shall I do from a grateful heart in return?
Joshua 8:1-35. Verses 30-35, Joshua’s altar enshrining Moses’ law. What is the lesson here for me, my family, my church? First step?
Acts 20:13-27. Verse 24, Paul sold out for gospel work. What’s one specific thing I can start doing or stop doing, to grow toward this attitude?
Mark 14:22-31. Verse 31, when have I let Jesus down despite brave promises and best intentions? What did I learn? Present application?
