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 59:1-17. When was I the undeserving target of malice, injustice, or hate? How did God show up? Application to present needs?
Jeremiah 39:1-18. The Babylonian invaders take Jerusalem, slaughter the nobles, and blind the king—but Jeremiah is freed and treated well. What is the worst thing that ever happened to me? How did God show up?
II Timothy 2:14-26. Verse 15, how does this day confront me with a choice of seeking God’s approval rather than human approval? Why does it matter?
Matthew 18:10-14. When have I seen or received Christ’s radical love in coming after the one lost sheep? For whom can I offer that same love today?
