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 111:1-10. Verse 5 KJV, ever mindful of his covenant. What is God minded to do specifically for me and with me today?
Ezekiel 7:1-27. Verse 19, silver and gold won’t deliver us from God’s judgment. By what subtle assumptions am I tempted to believe the contrary?
I Peter 1:13-25. Verses 18 and 19, related question, what good things can the blood of the Lamb do for me, that worldly wealth can never provide?
John 21:1-14. Verse 6, have I in some way been fishing on the wrong side of the boat, so that if I listen to Jesus he will redirect me to be more productive for him?
