Bible Saturday 8/30: The Looking Glass

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 146:1-10. Verses 3-5, have I been putting too much trust in politics and too little in the God of Jacob?

Joshua 20:1-9. God directs the Israelites to establish cities of refuge. What’s my process for acting not in the heat of anger but in the coolness of self-control?

II Corinthians 3:4-18. Verse 18, what changes has the Holy Spirit been making in me of late, so that I may become a truer image of Christ? How’s it going?

Mark 14:66-72. When have I been tempted to deny Jesus as Peter did? What did I learn?
