Studying this morning's 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 104:1-35. Verse 34, I will be glad in the Lord. Can I remember all day today that for God’s people gladness and gratitude are a decision, not a happenstance?

Acts 7:35-43. Verse 41, if idolatry should try to gain a foothold in me, what form might it take?
Mark 1:29-39. Verse 35, what can I learn from Jesus’ practice of rising long before dawn and going off alone to pray?
