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 20:1-9. Verse 7, David the warrior king vows to trust the Lord, not chariots or horses. What are some imposing but unreliable objects of trust that I must disallow today?
Jeremiah 24:1-10. As the Babylonian exile begins, God differentiates between the Israelites (good figs) and their corrupt leaders (bad figs). Is the USA in a similar half & half situation? How can my church help?
Romans 15:14-21. How Paul concentrated on preaching Christ in new mission fields. Who needs to hear the gospel from me today? What am I waiting for?
Matthew 14:13-21. Feeding of the five thousand. What situation of scarcity that I know about—material or spiritual—waits to be turned into abundance when Jesus shows up? What part can I play?
