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 48:1-14. By what thoughts and actions can I be a dweller in the city of God today, even as I go about my everyday life in the city of man?
Exodus 31:1-18. Verse 15, the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. What does God want me to do about keeping his sabbath, beyond what I’m already doing? What’s at stake?
I Corinthians 14:20-33. Verse 26, what’s something more I can do to make my church a place where believers all edify each other—spiritually build each other up?
John 8:48-59. Verse 58, Jesus predates Abraham. How is everything different for me today because I serve the triune, ever-living God who exists outside of time?
