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 91:1-16. Verse 13, these lions and dragons that I am to tread under foot, what do they spiritually symbolize? How might I encounter them as I go through this day?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22. Verses 1-8, famous poetic passage about the rhythms and seasons of our lives. What is God’s particular purpose for me in the present season of my life? Action point for today?
Romans 2:1-16. God’s judgment upon all, Jews and Gentiles alike. What do I expect after death?
Matthew 11:1-6. Verse 11, why does being a citizen of the kingdom of heaven make me greater than John the Baptist. When and how can I claim that citizenship? How can I recognize a fellow citizen?
