Bible Saturday 6/6: Nevertheless

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 89:1-52. Verses 30-33, nevertheless. When have I deserved stern justice, yet God showed me tender mercy? How can I pay this forward?

I Samuel 11:1-15. King Saul wins a victory over the Ammonites and is confirmed on the throne accordingly. What are the essentials of godly leadership? Is it taught and practiced in my church?

Acts 6:1-7. Who do I admire as a model of the early deacons—selfless, humble, reliable, practical—serving the body of Christ and expecting little in return?

John 19:31-42. Verse 19, who do I know that is like Nicodemus, gradually growing into the fulness of faith in Jesus? How can I help that person along the road?
