Bible Tuesday 10/1: Generosity

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 99:1-9. Verse 8 KJV, what are the inventions in my spiritual life that displease God and incur his sharp correction?

I Chronicles 6:1-81. Genealogy of Levi and Aaron. Why is the ministry no longer hereditary under the new covenant in Christ? What’s good and bad in my human heredity? What can I do about it?

II Corinthians 8:1-15. Generously giving of ourselves as Jesus gave of himself. How can I do better at this? How can my church do better?

Luke 8:40-56. What’s the present-day equivalent of approaching Jesus to touch his robe.? If I could do that right now, what would I want from him? Action point?
