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 68:1-35. Verses 5 and 6, do I know a family that is struggling or broken, to whom I can help bring God’s love and care today?
Numbers 31:1-54. Verses 14-24, when have I tried to cut corners on a tough command God gave me? What did I learn? Application to present needs?
Acts 17:1-15. Verse 11, searching the Scriptures daily. How would I explain the benefits of this practice to someone who asks me?
Mark 7:24-30. If I asked Jesus for bread, and he offered me only crumbs, how would I take it?
