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 104:1-35. Verses 14 and 15, what change in my attitude about food and drink might draw me closer to God and equip me to serve him better?
Jeremiah 7:1-34. Verses 3-11, how can my church more fully match its love of neighbor to its love of God? My role?
Romans 3:9-20. Looking honestly at myself and at my family and closest friends, do the words “all” and “none” in this passage on human sin seem unfair? What’s to be done?
Matthew 11:1-19. Verses 16 and 17, moody children. What’s the lesson for me here about the right and wrong way to follow Jesus? Action point for today?
