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 115:1-18. Verses 2-9, what idols have been found wanting in this tough year for our country? What can the true and living God do that they can’t? Prayer point for my day?
I Samuel 16:1-23. Verse 7, in the ways I am trying to serve God right now, how would I be more effective if able to see deeply into individuals, not just on the surface?
Acts 6:1-15. Prominence and persecution of Stephen. What does this remarkable man of God have to teach me about serving the cause of Christ?
Mark 2:1-12. Verse 3, who needs my help in coming closer to Jesus today? Whom can I team up with and offer our help together?
