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 121:1-8. What benefit is mine today, from serving a God who never sleeps?
I Chronicles 27:1-34. King David’s trusted officers. With what duty am I trusted in the community of God’s faithful ones, the Body of Christ? Do I often take this too much for granted? What’s at stake?
Philippians 2:1-11. Related, what opportunity of putting others first, with the mind of Christ, did I miss yesterday? What was lost? How can I do better today?
Luke 18:9-14. When Jesus observes my prayer life, how much am I like this religious show-off and how much am I like this humble tax collector? Action point for today?
