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 68:1-35. Verses 5 and 6, where do I know of a family experiencing brokenness, to whom I can be a conduit for God’s comfort and caring this week?
Jeremiah 40:1-16. Intrigue among the conquered Jews; Jeremiah set free. If one lesson of this dark and dramatic book is that God’s people must spiritually prepare for the worst, what would that look like for me and my church?
II Timothy 1:1-12. Verses 3-6 KJV, Paul speaks three times about remembrance. What specific remembrances of God’s grace to me in the past, help strengthen my reliance on him in the present?
Matthew 24:1-14. More about preparing for the worst. Verse 12, what is the love that Jesus says we must not allow to grow cold? How can I go about obeying that today?
