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 118:1-29. Verse 22, how is this day different and better because Jesus is my cornerstone?
Jeremiah 51:1-64. Verses 24-26, what would my life look like if I tried to build on a cornerstone from Babylon? Or maybe just as a second home, a place to vacation?
John 12:12-36. Verses 21-23, Philip is often found bringing people to Jesus. Who might I try and bring to Jesus during these coming days of Holy Week?
Matthew 20:29-21:17. Verse 13, what are some benefits of seeking God at his house of prayer, not just alone at home? What are some subtle ways a church can cheat and rob people? Is my church at risk?
