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 17:1-15. Verse 8, because God keeps me as the apple of his eye, what can I expect from him today? What will he never allow to happen to me?
I Chronicles 13:1-22. King Abidjan, faithful to God, defeats the superior army of the idolatrous Jeroboam. Verse 12, with God as my captain, what battle shall I count on winning today in his name?
Malachi 1:1-8. How might I be tempted to offer God less than my best today? What’s at stake?
Luke 20:41-44. How shall I regard Jesus today—as a great teacher and miracle worker, or as the Son of God incarnate, my Savior and my Lord?
