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 106:1-48. Verses 37-40, child sacrifice. What is my church doing about the abortion holocaust in America these past 50 years?
Ezekiel 4:1-17. The prophet is ordered to play-act the coming siege, suffering, and shame of Jerusalem. Is this meant to convict me, one lone Christ-follower, in any way? With prophetic voices silent, what is lost?
Luke 24:1-12. Verse 11, hearing the resurrection celebrated and preached these past few days, did some of the hopes and promises seem too good be true in my own difficult situation? How does God react to that?
Luke 24:13-49. Verses 25-27 and 44-46, if I could learn to find Jesus on every page of the Bible, what changes might begin to occur in my life?
