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 133:1-3. How can the pandemic lead to greater unity among all the people of God? Why does that please him? What defines true versus false unity?
Ezekiel 16:1-63. God as a faithful husband to Israel, she as a faithless wife to him. How can my church emerge from this dark time as a truer bride of Christ than ever before? My role?
II John 1:1-13. Verse 3, what false ideas of truth and love dominate the worldly mind? How does the Covid crisis give Christians an opportunity to correct those? First step today?
John 4:46-54. The father put his loved one’s need ahead of his own self-importance, and Jesus’ authority ahead of his own agenda. How can I live into that example today?
