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 31:1-24. Verse 16, make your face shine on me. Today as God grants me this petition, what actually happens? What do I see, feel, and experience?
Jeremiah 27:1-22. God has Jeremiah use ox-yokes to show the Israelites what submission will require. When has God’s hard chastisement put me under an unwelcome yoke (not the easy yoke of Matthew 10)?
Romans 16:17-27. Verses 25 and 26, what is the mystery revealed to us in Jesus Christ? How does it change my life? What does it require of me?
Matthew 15:10-20. Does Jesus’ warning about the sinfulness of human hearts apply mostly to other people, or equally to me? When have I paid a dear price for neglecting it? Action point for today?
