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 109:1-31. Verse 4, but I will pray and God will answer. What adversity or trouble am I facing today, that I can overcome with this decisive “but”?
Daniel 6:1-28. Daniel survives the lions’ den unharmed, resulting in death to his persecutors and glory to God. What is the biggest risk I’ve ever taken to practice my faith and proclaim my Lord?
Philippians 4:4-9. Verse 8, a checklist for the thoughts and attitudes Jesus requires of me as his disciple. Where did I fall short of this standard yesterday? How can I do better today?
Luke 1:39-56. What lessons can I learn from the Virgin Mary during this Advent season? In what simple specific ways can I put those lessons into practice today?
