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 71:1-24. Verse 21, God comforts me. Application to present needs?
II Chronicles 3:1-24. We have a personal God who knows us personally by name across the thousands of years. What do I want the divine record to say about me a dozen centuries from now? Action point for today?
Galatians 1:1-24. Verses 6-12, what are some lies and errors of the worldly mind that distort and falsify the one true gospel of Jesus Christ? What are the consequences if I let this happen?
Luke 8:16-21. Related, as a beneficiary and custodian of the light that Jesus has brought into the world, am I more often cautious and hesitant about letting it shine, or fearless and zealous in spreading it?
