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 18:1-50. Verse 6, praying with urgency. Do I cry out fervently to God this way, or isn’t it my style?
Genesis 7:1-23. What enabled Noah to foresee the flood when no one else could? How can I partake of that keen discernment by God’s grace today?
Luke 17:20-27. Jesus warns that his kingdom will come with lightning suddenness, like the storm overtaking Noah and his family. How can I and my family make sure we’re ready?
Matthew 3:13-17. The Son, with the Father and the Spirit, participate together at Jesus’ baptism. How is this a better day because the Triune God knows me and loves me—is pleased with me?
