Bible Saturday 2/27: Abundance from Scarcity

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 140:1-13. Verse 3, poison words. Am I overly attentive to news, gossip, and social media? What’s the harm? What is God’s antidote?

Proverbs 8:1-36. Invitation to you and me from Wisdom (often equated with the Holy Spirit). How do I go about accepting this invitation today?

Romans 8:1-11. Verses 5-7 KJV, reviewing yesterday, what did I think or do that was carnally minded? How can I be more spiritually minded today?

Matthew 14:13-21. What situation in my life right now calls out for Jesus to bring abundance out of scarcity, as only he can?
