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 148:1-14. All creation like an orchestra sounding forth the praises of God. Reviewing yesterday, how was his praise expressed by people and things I don’t usually notice? Why does it matter?
Ezekiel 17:1-24. Parable of the eagles and the trees. In some of my recent worrying, have I tended to forget the sovereignty of our good and wise God?
I Corinthians 15:1-11. Verse 3, the gospel in five words:: Christ died for our sins. Who needs to hear this from me? What am I waiting for?
John 5:1-15. Verse 5-9, with some current need of mine, have my prayers been too small? Have I been afraid to make them really big?
