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 94:1-23. In my direct experience right now, who are the wicked, the evildoers, the workers of inquiry? Who are the proud, the brutish, the fools? What would God have me do about them? And have my church do?
I Samuel 13:1-23. Saul rashly presumes to sacrifice and loses God’s favor. How does the principle that one man can’t be both king and priest inform our idea of righteous government today?
Acts 7:1-10. Verse 9, Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery—but God was with him. What hard or even hopeless situation am I facing today, to which I can firmly say in faith, “But God”?
Mark 1:9-13. Presence of the Holy Spirit with Jesus at both his glorious baptism and his satanic temptation. What do I need the Spirit to show up and do for me today?
