Bible Monday 8/24: Spiraling Down

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 127:1—131:3. Verse 1,in what undertaking of great importance in my life have I allowed Gdd to be pushed to to the margins, putting worldly ways and means first? What’s at stake?

II Kings 15:1-38. One king after another, most of them bad, rules Israel and Judah in ways offensive to God. Why does it seem there is a sort of moral law of entropy, whereby humanity spirals ever downward?

II Corinthians 4:1-6. If I were asked to write a brief letter, just one page, describing what a Christian is and citing evidence from my own lie, what would it say?

Mark 14:1-11. Reviewing the year so far, what have I done to show my adoration for Jesus in any degree comparable to the love that Mary of Bethany showed?
