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 40:1-17. Verses 9 and 10, how can I do more this year to tell others about God’s love and truth than I did last year?
Genesis 24:1-67. God (and their parents) arrange for Isaac and Rebekah to marry. Why is marriage falling off in our time? Is God pleased? What can churches do about it?
Hebrews 10:1-10. How are the possibilities and responsibilities before me on this day different because Jesus died to take away my sins?
Matthew 8:5-13. Verses 7-9, what one thing above all else do I pray to see done today by the authority vested in Jesus Christ from his Father?
