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 77:1-20. Verse 6, song in the night. What’s the soundtrack or musical theme of my solitary times alone with God? Does it matter?
Job 35:1-16. Verse 12, pride of evil men. What proud attitudes get in the way of my walk with God?
II Corinthians 10:1-18. Verse 5, related question, taking stock of my thoughts during the past hour, what do I find that is not captive to Christ, obedient to Christ?
Luke 9:21-27. Related again, if I asked Jesus to take over and invert the values I commonly live by, where might he start? Action point for today?
