Studying this morning's 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 27:1-14. Verse 8, what’s involved in my seeking God’s face all day today? How do I know what to look for? How will my day be different? How will others notice?
I Peter 5:1-14. Verses 8-10, as the devil, like a lion on the prowl, menaces me today, what point of vulnerability might he attack in me? What attitudes and actions will place me under God’s protection?
John 5:31-47. Verses 36-39, who do I know that tries to live morally, righteously, and even biblically—but without personally knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior? How can I approach that person with the gospel?
