Bible Friday 2/11: A World Astray

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 105:1-45 Verse 15, touch not My anointed. Against what hostile persons or powers do I need God’s invincible protection today?

Ecclesiastes 8:1-17. Verse 15 KJV, mirth and merriment. Why does God want me to have plenty of this in my life? Or is this just another shrug of ennui by the world-weary Preacher?

Romans 4:1-12. How is my life made better by being received into the family of those who can call Abraham our father?

Matthew 12:9-14. Verse 12, if I had to answer Jesus’ question, “How much is a man better than a sheep?” for an advocate of unrestricted abortion and animal rights,, what would I say?
