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 59:1-17. Verse 8, if God laughs derisively at his enemies and my enemies, in what frame of mind shall I approach this day?
Isaiah 27:1-13. Verse 1, God vanquishes leviathan, the serpent, the dragon. Spiritually considered, what monsters are striking fear into most people right now? What’s my protection against these?
Revelation 5:1-14. What specific need have I today for Jesus in his office as the Lion, and for him in his office as the Lamb?
Matthew 23:1-12. Verse 11, what opportunities can I find to humble myself and serve, more today than yesterday?
