Bible Tuesday 12/2: Here and Now

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 81:1-16. Verse 10, for me and my family as followers of the one true God, what is our origin story as the exodus from Egypt was Israel’s origin story? Shouldn’t we revisit it more often?

Esther 4:1—5:14. Verse 4:14, for such a time as this. How can I be more attuned—and obedient—to the unique and special call that God is placing on my life right now?

Revelation 14:14—15:8. Verse 3, what is the victory song of Moses and Jesus? If I sing it today with my whole heart, how will everything become different?

Luke 9:37-42. What are some of the demonic influences operative in these times? How can I combat them in Jesus’ name?
