Bible Thursday 8/7: Your Security Detail

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 91:1-16. Verses 10-12, what do I need God’s angels to do for me today? How shall I put myself in a posture to receive them?

Amos 8:1-14. Verses 11 and 12, what are some symptoms that show our country is starving for the word of God right now? What is my church doing about it? My role?

II Peter 2:1-11. Who are the false teachers misleading America in 2025, denying the Lord who bought them (Jesus Christ crucified) and proclaiming damnable heresies?

Mark 10:23-31. What is it costing me to follow Jesus and serve his kingdom? Am I expecting cheap grace?
