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 81:1-16. Verses 10-12, when have I turned a deaf ear to the voice of God’s grace? What did I learn? Present application?
Jeremiah 48:1-47. Verse 7, Moab’s self-reliance is her undoing. How can I specifically be less self-reliant and more God-reliant today?
Titus 1:1-16. Verses 5-9, qualifications for leadership in the church. Whom can I thank and encourage today, for doing such work well, for blessing me and others?
John 8:13-20. Verse 19, Jesus says that by knowing him we can know the Father. What then can I surely expect of God, based on the life, work, and character of his Son?
