Bible Wednesday 2/18: The Secret Fast

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 119:49-88. Verses 67, 71, 75, how has God used affliction to further my spiritual growth? Application to present needs?

Jeremiah 5:1-31. The prophet warns Israel and Judah that God will severely punish their infidelity. How is America today on a similar road to ruin? What is my church doing about it?

Romans 8:12-25. Verse 15, what privileges and possibilities are open to me as an adopted child of God? Do I really know the Father well enough to call him Abba?

Matthew 6:1-18. As the 40 days of Lent begin today, the path of preparation for Easter, how shall I conform my practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving more closely to Jesus’ example?
