Bible Friday 1/30: Hands-on Caring

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 82:1-8. Verses 3 and 4, how can I do more for the poor? Why is this so important to God?

Deuteronomy 19:1-21. Verse 21, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Does my state guarantee equal justice to all? Why is this so important to God?

Hebrews 12:1-11. In the long hard race I am to run as a Christian, how am I doing so far? What are the weights and sins I must cast off? What can I learn from Jesus and the cross?

Matthew 8:1-4. Jesus touches and heals a leper. What is my great need of healing right now? Do I trust Jesus to press into my situation with hands-on compassion?
