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 78:1-40. How will everything be different for me today, according to whether I remember God’s unfailing goodness or forget it?
Leviticus 4:1-35. Do I and my church take sin as seriously as Jesus and Moses and the prophets and apostles did? What’s at stake?
Acts 1:15-26. The eleven, with Peter presiding, choose Matthias to fill Judas’s vacancy. Where do I see a need right now for God’s guidance in placing the best-qualified person for an important kingdom assignment?
John 4:46-54. The nobleman’s dying son is healed by a word from Jesus. Don’t I often tend to instruct the Lord about just how I want him to show up for me—instead of trusting him with meek childlike faith?
