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 78:41-72. In my prayers and hopes, have I been limiting the Holy One of Israel and thinking too small? Is there something I need to pray bigger about today?
Leviticus 5:1-19. Verse 5, why is confession of sins important in the Bible? Is God calling on me to take confession more seriously in my daily walk?
I John 4:12-19. What specific fear do I need to have cast out of me today by God’s perfect love?
John 15:1-8. What is the fruit Jesus wants me to bring forth for him during this chapter of my life? What pruning do I need from him,, to make me a more fruitful branch of his vine?
