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 35:1-38. Verses 11-21, God’s command to love our enemies dates far back into Old Testament times. What opportunity to love my enemies yes can I find on this day? Why does this please Jesus?
Job 12:1-25. Job changes the frame of reference, confident that the vastness of space and the mysteries of nations will silence his three comforters. But he is no closer to the answers he seeks. Am I growing each day in true Christian humility?
Galatians 2:1-10. Paul’s tells how rivalries over the gospel were settled by his leading the ministry to the non-Jews as Peter led the ministry to the Jews. Is personal or doctrinal friction making my church unfruitful?
Luke 7.36-50. A fallen woman, desperate to worship Jesus, interrupts dinner at a Pharisee’s house. When have I seen proof of the point Jesus makes here, that sometimes a recovered sinner’s usefulness is proportional to the distance he had to travel getting home?
