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. Verses 5, 9, 17, 18, God’s unfailing care for us as we age. Am I daunted by the changes that come with aging? How can I be more faithful in trusting each passing year to my heavenly Father?
Deuteronomy 17:1-20. Verses 14 ff, God’s intention of anointing a king over Israel, who shall govern righteously. Does my church pay too much or too little attention to politics? Why does it matter?
Hebrews 11:23-29. Moses, faithful and fearless. How can I be more like Moses today? In my everyday life, what does it look like to choose the reproach of Christ and shun the treasures of Egypt?
Matthew 7:15-23. Verse 22, if doing great things in Jesus’ name is not enough to get me into the kingdom heaven, what is? On this score, how am I doing so far? Action point for today?
