Bible Monday 6/1: Peter Starts Lying

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 78:1-40. Verses 4-8, one generation teaching the next about our God. How have I benefitted from this? What is my responsibility for paying it forward?

I Samuel 5:1-12. The ark of the covenant, captured in battle, wreaks havoc among the Philistines. Am I awake to just how serious God is about our handling of holy things?

Acts 4:32-37. What was the spiritual impetus behind the selfless generosity of Barnabas? How could adoption of the “Barnabas way” by many in our church impact the whole community?

John 18:15-24. If I had been there that night at the high priest’s palace… Would I have been more honest and brave than Peter? ….Would I have been as assured and composed as Jesus?
