Studying this morning's 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 119:49-88. Verse 87, what are some of God’s precepts that I must not forsake today? What’s at stake?
Ephesians 6:10-24. Related, spelling out the armor of God from symbolism to practicality, what does it mean to equip myself today with belt, breastplate, shoes, shield, helmet, and sword?
Luke 17:1-10. Related again, what does Jesus expect of me if I’m really serious about becoming his servant? Just this week, have I been profitable or unprofitable to him? Action point for today?
