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 143:1-12. Verse 10, what qualities today will make me teachable under God’s hand? If I really want him to lead me, what is required on my part?
Jeremiah 14:1-22. Verses 19-21, sinful Judah pleads for God’s mercy. By what specific steps can I use this Lenten season as a time of soul-searching, confession, repentance, and regeneration?
Romans 11:11-21. Likening both Jews and non-Jews to branches on an olive tree, where all can find new life in God. Shouldn’t I as a Christian walk with great meekness and humility, being grafted in from “wild” origins?
Matthew 12:38-45. Jesus as savior of the world is greater than Jonah’s preaching or Solomon’s wisdom. Thinking back on the past week and how often I took him for granted, am I not moved to hotter zeal?
