Studying this morning's four 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 73:1-28. Verses 25, 26, 28, but God. How do all the experiences of my lifetime, and all the events of salvation history, conclusively show God’s greatness and goodness ever operative for my benefit?
Exodus 23:14-19. Given that the feast of harvest has been sacred to the Father of lights for over 3000 years, is it not the height of ingratitude and rashness for me and my church to treat it less than reverently nowadays?
II Chronicles 35:1-27. Related, King Josiah revives the passover like nothing seen in Israel for centuries. Doesn’t the revival we need here and now call for a mighty giving of thanks to our three-person God?
Luke 17:11-19. How shall I thank Jesus on this day and at this season for the newness of life he has given me, materially and spiritually, every bit as transformative as what he gave these ten lepers?
