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?
Psalm 41:1-13. Verse 4 KJV, heal my soul. What specific work of healing does my soul need from God at present? How is that different from a healing of my body?
II Samuel 9:1-13. David’s gracious provision for Jonathan’s disabled son. Toward whom is God moving me to show exceptional kindness today?
Acts 13:13-25. A thousand years of God’s patient preparation for the coming of Jesus. What bearing does this have on my approach to the obligations and opportunities of this day?
Mark 7:31–37. What keeps me and my church from proclaiming King Jesus as enthusiastically as did these astonished Galileans?
