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 68:1-35. Verse 17, thousands of angels. What are some of the myriad assignments they are carrying out for God this morning? What can I expect the results to be?
Judges 21:1-25. Verse 25, leaderless, the Israelites forsake all God-given standards of right and wrong. How far down this road to ruin has our country gone today? What its my church doing about it?
James 4:11-17. How can I be more responsive to God’s plans for me today, and less headstrong about my own plans?
Luke 7:36-50. If someone had observed me for the last few days, would they be able to tell I am a man whose many sins have been forgiven by Jesus, the Savior of the world?
