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 150:1-6. Verse 6, what if I could make my praising of God as natural and unceasing as my breathing in and out?
Joshua 21:1-45. God keeps his promises, all of them, to the children of Israel. Do I trust him to do the same for me and mine, or do I enter into this day with doubt and worry?
II Corinthians 4:1-15. Verses 8-10, what does it look like for me to participate in the death of Jesus? By what signs can I recognize the influx of his life welling up in me?
Mark 15:1-15. In what specific ways do we still see the worldly mind preferring the Barabbas way to the Jesus way? Action point for me today?
