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 41:1-13. Verse 4 KJV, is my soul in need of healing right now? What would it look like for God to do that for me today?
Genesis 15:1-21. Verse 6, what is God asking me to believe today with little or no evidence? Suppose I just can’t?
Hebrews 7:11-28. Verses 14 and 27, what can the self-offering of Jesus do for me today, that the lawgiving and leadership of Moses never can?
Matthew 5:33-48. Verse 44, what specific and immediate opportunity can I find this week to obey Jesus in loving my enemies and praying for my persecutors?
