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 46:1-11. What situation in the news, local or national or world, shall I pray about with this psalm today?
Proverbs 28:1-28. Verse 13, whom do I know that turned from a life of sin and wrong to become a new person by God’s mercy? How can I become involved in helping others do that?
Romans 15:14-33. Paul discusses his special audience for the gospel. Has God given me a special audience for the gospel? How can I know, and what shall I then do?
Matthew 20:29-34. Verse 32, as so often, Jesus asks someone what they want from him. How can I make my prayers to him today as large as he expects, truly as spacious and gracious as he invites?
