Bible Friday 1/16: Yet the Lord

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 40:1-17. Verses 6-11, how can I give God today the only offering he desires from me—my whole being, and my unreserved witness of him to whoever will listen?

Deuteronomy 5:1-33. Moses reminds Israel of the Ten Commandments that God gave, and of his own role in giving them. How can I keep the Decalogue truly alive in my daily Christian walk?

Hebrews 7:1-10. Is God pleased with my tithes? How is everything better for me by having Jesus as my high priest?

Matthew 5:27-30. Accepting Jesus’ challenge to make not only my outward actions but also my inmost thoughts acceptable to a holy God, how can I now gain access to Jesus’ help in living up to that standard?
