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 113:1-9. Verse 9, what would I say to a teenage girl who has become convinced her life will be better if she rejects God than if she follows him?
Exodus 6:1-30. Verses 12 and 30, Moses’ sense of inadequacy and unworthiness to do as God commanded him. When has God helped me surmount such an obstacle? Present application?
I Corinthians 15:20-34. Verse 31, Paul says he dies daily for Jesus. In what small way might I have a chance to do this today?
John 4:15-26. Verses 21-24, today if I worship the Father in spirit and in truth, what will I be found doing, what will I be found thinking?
