Bible Tuesday 8/26: Consolation

Studying this morning's 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 137:1-9. Verse 4, today shall I trust that my faith can master my circumstances, however adverse, or shall I let my circumstances overmaster my faith?

II Corinthians 1:1-14. Who needs comfort from me today? How can I pass along to that person the comfort I have received from God, through Jesus Christ?

Mark 14:32-42. Verse 36, at this point in my life, what important test am I facing between seeing God’s will be done or selfishly wanting my own will to be done?
