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 78:1-40. Verses 4-6, hiding the truth of God from our children, or declaring it to them. How is this going, in my family and in my church? Action point?
Isaiah 35:1-10. A cascade of blessings for long-suffering Israel. Have I been too hesitant to offer big prayers? What’s a large, expansive hope that I can put before God today?
John 1:35-42. Verse 41, the Apostle Andrew is noted for bringing people to Jesus. Whom can I help bring to Jesus today?
John 6:1-14. Verses 8 and 9, Andrew the connector, at work again. Is there some point on which I have been undercutting my faith by saying “but” to Jesus?
