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 108:1-13. Verse 12, in what way recently have I been relying too much on human help and not reaching out for God’s help?
Isaiah 49:1-26. Verses 14-16, what evidence do I have that God loves me more dearly than even my own mother and father ever did?
Revelation 16:12-21. Verses 15-17, Armageddon. What are the consequences if I should fail to recognize that the end times are now upon us? What are the consequences if I should mistakenly think they are?
Luke 23:1-12. Pilate and Herod. Why do those holding political power often feel threatened by Jesus? How does this present hard choices for me and my church?
