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 68:1-35. Verse 11, in the coming year, how can I do more in the great company of those who are publishing God’s word?
II Chronicles 32:1-33. Verse 24, Hezekiah, deathly ill, prays and is healed, but fails to give God the glory. When have pride, self-importance, and ingratitude made a breach between me and God? What did I learn?
Revelation 11:1-10. Verse 8, where our Lord was crucified. As our world is shaken by literally apocalyptic conflict and violence, how can I take shelter today at the foot of the Cross?
Matthew 24:29-35. Related, verse 35, on what specific words of Jesus, words that will never pass away, shall I take my stand amid the storms of today?
