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 106:1-48. Verse 25, murmuring means voicing ingratitude, complaint, discontent, self-pity. It’s a gateway sin, a sour attitude leading to worse sins. What have I murmured about lately, displeasing God?
I Samuel 18:1-30. Hating David, Saul schemes to do away with him. When has God protected me from someone’s animosity? Application to present needs?
Acts 7:54 - 8:3. Stephen is martyred; Saul, who would become Paul, enters the picture. In many countries, people are giving their lives for the name of Jesus. How much am I willing to give for him? Starting when?
Mark 2:1-12. Jesus heals the palsied man, carried to him by friends. Who needs to hear about Jesus from me today?
