Bible Sunday 8/30: Strange Things

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 147:1-20. Verses 2-6, our God is gentle enough to heal the broken-hearted, yet mighty enough to name every star. What urgent need, too much for human help, shall I bring to him today?

ll Kings 21:1-26. The God-fearing King Hezakiah is succeeded by two bad kings, the second of whom died in a palace revolt. How do we see the maxim “Power corrupts,” play out in our own times?

II Corinthians 6:11—7:1. How do such warnings as “be not unequally yoked” and “come out, be separate” line up with our command from Jesus to preach the gospel to everyone everywhere?

Luke 5:17-26. Who needs my help getting closer to Jesus today? Am I willing to be conspicuous, risk embarrassment for Christ’s sake, to accomplish the goal?
