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 9:1-20. Verses 4, 8, 16, 19 KJV, in what practical ways can I, my family, and my friends align ourselves with God’s infallible judgment over the coming days, whether or not we like the election results?
Isaiah 8:1-22. Verse 14, why have God, his Word, his Christ, and his church become a stumbling-block to so many Americans of all political persuasions? Looking beyond 2020, what can I do about it?
I Thessalonians 2:1-12. Verses 8 and 11, besides my own parents, who has had a motherly or fatherly influence on my spiritual growth? What did I learn from them that’s applicable to present needs?
Luke 16:14-18. Verse 15, what choice may I have to make today between being justified in human eyes or in God’s eyes?
