Bible Wednesday 2/4: Born in Zion

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 87:1-7. Verses 5 and 6, how is everything different and better for me today, because God has given me a Zion birth certificate?

Deuteronomy 24:1-22. Verse 16, individual responsibility as a fundamental principle of equal justice. Where do we see this violated in our country today? What is my church doing about it?

Romans 1:1-15. Paul’s unflagging devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ. How would I sum up the gospel in a minute or two if someone asked me? Who needs to hear the gospel from me today?

Matthew 8:18-22. What excuses have I been making to Jesus lately? How shall I remedy that, starting today?
