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 119:1-48. Verse 25, how conscious am I of being, in many ways, mere dust? What emboldens me to approach God in prayer even so?
Isaiah 52:1-15. Verse 7, these good tidings of salvation, how can I get in touch with them and bring them into my experience today?
Revelation 19:11-21. Jesus, King of Kings, on his warhorse with drawn sword. Is this of any benefit to me here and now?
Luke 23:50-56. Burial of Jesus in a borrowed tomb. Why should we relive Good Friday at Christmastime?
