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 37:1-40. Verses 7, 9, 34 KJV, what am I waiting for God to do right now? Given that he loves us and has all power, why is it necessary to wait? How can I get the needed patience?
Genesis 15:1-21. God’s covenant with Abram. What do I owe God today? What does he promise me in return?
Hebrews 6:13-20. Verse 19 KJV, what is the anchor of my soul? How does it help me with storms raging in politics, the economy, the pandemic, and so much else?
Matthew 5:33-48. Verse 44, related question, what enemies is Jesus asking me to love right now? Why should I? How can I? First step?
