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 19:1-14. Verses 12 and 13, when have I found myself sinning unawares? What did God teach me? Application for today?
Judges 5:1-31. Deborah’s victory song. How does the dramatic retelling of God’s past blessings to me open the way for future blessings? As some have asked, is God merely an egotist who basks in praise?
II Corinthians 6:1-10. Verse 2 KJV, if this day is salvation day, what can I expect from God? What does he expect from me?
Luke 7:24-35. Verse 32, if childish moods and faddish emotions don’t fit us for the kingdom, what qualities is Jesus asking for instead? Action point?
