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 137:1-9. Verse 4, today shall I let my circumstances overmaster my faith, or insist that my faith overmasters my circumstances?
Micah 6:1-16. Verse 8, looking to the new year ahead, what practical steps can I take to show my love of God and neighbor by living with more justice, more mercy, more humility?
Acts 6:8-8:3. Related, how can I seek out a more costly path of discipleship and witnessing for Jesus in 2026—if not perhaps by courting violence, then at least by moving outside my comfort zone?
John 15:18-16:4. Related again, am I ready to go into training—like an extreme athlete or even a military commando—to serve King Jesus whom the world wants dead? If not, shouldn’t I just quit now?
