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 51:1-19. Verses 6 and 7, how is God dealing with me on the inside right now, straightening me out, cleaning me up? Prayer point for today?
