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 23:1-6. What are some specific ways that my cup runs over today with proofs of God’s comfort, provision, and protection?
Judges 5:1-31. Deborah’s victory song. Why is God pleased when we not only talk of his greatness and goodness, but sing about them? What song of praise, original in my own words, shall I lift to him right now?
II Corinthians 8:8-24. Paul teaches on Kingdom economics, based on abundance not scarcity and made possible by the self-offering of Jesus. How shall I apply this in my relationships with others today?
Luke 4:38-44. Jesus the Great Physician at work. Who needs his healing touch this morning? My role in facilitating that?
