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 22:1-31. The opening lines became Jesus’ anguished prayer on the cross. How does my whole day change, the more I meditate on what the Lord did in suffering for me, dying for me, rising for me?
II Samuel 15:1-37. King David is betrayed by his own son Absalom and flees Jerusalem in apparent defeat. When have I met with scorn and humiliation, trying to keep faith with God?
Acts 15:1-12. Peter, well taught by Jesus that Christ’s yoke is easy, argues down the legalizers who cling to the unbearable yoke of the old law. What will it look like for me to go through this day yoked up with Jesus?
Mark 7:31-37. With just a touch, Jesus restores a man’s faculties of hearing and speaking. In what specific way do I need to have him touch me today?
