Bible Monday 2/3: Outsiders

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 85:1-13. Verse 8 KJV, what are some things that hinder me from hearing God speak? What can I do to hear him more clearly today?

Deuteronomy 34:1-12. Verse 7, what kept Moses so vital in old age? Lesson for me?

Hebrews 13:1-17. Verses 11-13, with Jesus, outside the camp. What attitudes and actions will mark me today as a Christlike outsider?

Luke 2:41-52. How has God used the strains I’ve had with my parents or with my children, to bring me nearer him?
