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 85:1-13. Verse 10, what are some tradeoffs that seem unavoidable in my everyday life, living as we do in a fallen world? How can God help me reconcile those?
Song of Solomon 6:1-13. Over time, as I grow spiritually from not only fearing God but loving him, and then from not only loving God but truly adoring him, how would others notice?
I Corinthians 15:20-34. Verse 31, I die daily, rejoicing in Christ Jesus our Lord. Realistically, what does that look like on an ordinary April day in 2024?
John 21:1-14. Verse 6, cast your net on the other side. What does the risen Christ want me to do differently, starting right now?
