Bible Friday 8/22: The Master Builder

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 127:1-5. What have I been working on and worrying over lately, which I have tended to take too much on myself and not entrust to God?

Acts 27:1-12. Paul, journeying to Rome for trial, warns his custodians the voyage will end badly. What’s going on in my life at present for which I must ask God for an extra measure of spiritual insight and foresight?

Mark 13:24-37. Verse 31, what saying of Jesus shall I take as my unfailing watchword for today?
