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 47:1-14. Verses 2 and 12, what specifically is God asking me to do today, in terms of fixing my eyes on Zion, his holy city? What do I gain by doing so?
Deuteronomy 8:1-20. God warns the Israelites against forgetting all his goodness and grace bestowed on them. When has prosperity lulled me into ingratitude and hence into trouble? Action point for today?
Hebrews 9:1-10. Insufficiency of the old Jewish sacrificial system to cleanse away people’s sins. How have I found the blood of Christ powerful to clear my conscience as no human ritual ever can?
Matthew 5:43-48. What opportunity can I find today to love my enemies as Jesus taught and showed us to do?
