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 48:1-14. Verse 12, walk about Zion. If called on at a church meeting for an impromptu talk about heaven, for how long could I readily speak? 30 seconds? 30 minutes? Why does it matter?
Jeremiah 47:1-7. Verse 6, specifically on this day, here and now, what would it look like to do my part as a sword of the Lord?
I Corinthians 3:18-4:8. Verse 7, what do you have that you did not receive? Reviewing yesterday, who was one person that I set myself above? Was that okay with Jesus? Action point for today?
Matthew 22:23-33. Verse 29, in what particular way can I expect that my knowledge of Scripture will shape and illuminate this day?
