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 2:1-12. Why does the birth of a tiny baby in a humble stable terrify all the worldly powers? By what thoughts and actions can I kiss the Son today and each day to come?
Micah 5:1-15. Verse 2, if God could record with Micah’s pen, seven centuries before Jesus came, his exact birthplace, can I possibly doubt that he has prepared every detail of my life for his glory?
Hebrews 2:1-18. Amid today’s rejoicing at Jesus’ birth, can I make room in my heart for grave gratitude at why he was born—that through his temptation, suffering, and death we might be saved for eternal life?
Luke 2:1-20. What qualities of mind and heart shall I ask God to endow in me so that I am like the shepherds near Bethlehem—ready to hear angels singing, willing to drop everything and go find Jesus?
