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 46:1-11. Verse 10, when God tells me to be still and know him, what are some attitudes and actions he thereby rules out? How can obeying this make my day better?
Job 18:1-21. Bildad hurls the kind of blistering invective that gives religion a bad name. To share my faith in a winsome way, what simple do’s and don’t should I keep in mind?
II Corinthians 1:1-14. Verses 5, 9, and 14, by what logic does Paul reason from sharing Christ’s sufferings and being under a death sentence, to a shared rejoicing with the brethren? How can I live that way today?
Luke 7:18-23. Have I ever wondered if Jesus could really be trusted as my Savior and Lord? How did God show up? Present application?
