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 137:1-9. As today goes along, what do I want God to remember about me, and what must I remember about him?
Nehemiah 12:1-47. Verse 43, the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off. If the joy of the Lord at my church were known for miles around, what exactly would that look like on my part and others’ in the congregation?
James 2:1-13. Verse 8 KJV, why is love of neighbor not just a law, but the royal law? How can I express more of that today than I did yesterday?
Luke 14:1-6. How can I make my approach to sabbath-keeping more like Jesus’ approach?
