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 90:1-17. Verse 12, number our days. When I do this with the mind of Christ, not with the worldly mind, how does the result differ?
I Chronicles 12:1-40. Verse 32, related, David helped by men who understood the times. What’s the capability I’m asking God to give me here? How shall I put this understanding to practical use, when gained?
Ephesians 1:1-14. Verse 5, what opportunities and obligations are available to me today as an adopted child of God through Jesus Christ?
Luke 13:1-9. Specifically what fruit is God, the vineyard owner, expecting from me this year, soon? To that end, what is the aggressive care I’m to receive from Jesus the vine-dresser? How did I fall so far in arrears?
