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 137:1-9. Verse 4, recently have I been letting my faith subdue my circumstances, or letting my circumstances subdue my faith?
II Kings 4:1-44. Verses 23 and 26, related question, what concern am I presently dealing with, about which I can approach God today, insisting, “It is well”?
Acts 28:11-31. Verses 25-28, what is it that stops up the eyes and ears of so many people these days, preventing them from accepting Jesus Christ? Prayer point for me today?
Luke 3:7-22. Verses 16 and 17, related question, what is the fire that Jesus brings, that burns its way into dull hearts and minds? Prayer point for me today?
