Bible Thursday 3/5: Wheat vs. Weeds

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 9:1-20. Verses 4-7, God enthroned. How shall I go about approaching God’s throne today? What shall I ask him to do for me? How do I know it won’t all be in vain?

Jeremiah 20:1-18. Jeremiah is arrested, discouraged, despairing—but persists in voicing God’s warnings. Verse 9, when have I felt compelled to take a stand for God, no matter what the cost?

Romans 14:1-13. Paul tells believers to stop judging each other. In what way do I tend to do this?

Matthew 13:36-43. Did my thoughts, words, and deeds yesterday go more toward producing a crop of wheat (love for God and neighbor) or weeds (selfishness)? How can I do better today?
