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 11:1-7, verse 3, what foundations, formerly strong in our country, are now weakened or crumbling? What is my church doing about it? My role?
Ezekiel 21:1-32. Verse 27, related question, does the overturning of old certainties, now occurring all around us, represent the defiance of God or the design of God? What does it require of me?
I Corinthians 15:35-49. By what attitudes and actions can I begin today preparing to put off the earthly image and put on the heavenly image?
John 6:1-14. With what situation in my life right now is Jesus testing me (verse 6) on whether I will see obstacles as Philip did or possibilities as Andrew did?
