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 143:1-12. Verse 10, what’s my toolbox for telling the difference between my will and God’s will? What are my disciplines for doing his will and not my own? Case in point for today?
Jeremiah 25:1-38. Verses 15-17, God uses Jeremiah to warn the nations. What individuals or institutions is God using in this way today? What’s the result if any? My role?
Romans 10:1-13. Verse 9, when and how did I commit myself entirely to Jesus crucified and risen? What was the result? Who needs to hear about this from me today, and be invited to share it?
Matthew 14:1-12. John pays with his life for biblically condemning sin. What must his cousin Jesus have thought when he heard this? How costly is biblical fidelity today? My church’s role, my role?
