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 78:41-72. Verses 67-71, God’s unlikely choice of the tribe of Judah and the shepherd boy David. When have I seen God move in a completely unexpected way? Present application?
Deuteronomy 32:1-52. Verse 18, a nation that forgets God. Some say this describes America and the whole of Western civilization. What is the evidence? What is my church doing about it?
Hebrews 13:1-15. Verse 7, caring for our pastors. How can I put this into practice today?
Matthew 10:1-15. The sending of the twelve. What specific mission does Jesus have for me in the USA in the year 2022? Am I measuring up? What does he require of me this very day?
