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 107:1-43.Verse 20, what is the word that God sends to heal me? When have I experienced this? What specific need of God’s healing do I have today?
Ezekiel 4:1-17. God directs the prophet to play-act Israel’s impending woes: siege, famine, drought. Are Christians in my town ready for the Enemy to do his worst? What role can my church play? And I myself?
I Peter 3:13-22. Verse 15, ready to answer. If a neighbor of mine asked why Jesus is so important to me and my family, what would I tell him?
John 3:14-21. Related, suppose a teenager from next door brought this very passage to me, wondering what it means in everyday high-school-speak, could I give him/her a concise colloquial paraphrase?
