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 27:1-14. Verse 5, today when God hides me in his place of secrecy, what does that involve? What can I do and what is done for me? What can’t I do and what can’t be done to me?
Jeremiah 26:1-24. Outraged at Jeremiah for bringing God’s hard truths, leaders want him put to death. What risk, sacrifice, or difficult task is God asking of me at this time in my life?
Romans 16:1-16. Paul gratefully names some of the most devoted Christians at Rome. Who are some key individuals in my church or faith community, for whom I want to send thanks, love, and prayers today?
Matthew 15:1-9. Related, who is someone I know personally that inspires me as an exemplary follower of Jesus? In contrast, when have I come across a hypocrite? Does hypocrisy sometimes tempt me?
