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 126:1-6. Verse 5, what’s going on in my life right now, for which I am praying to claim God’s promise that those who sow in tears shall reap in joy?
I Samuel 28:1-25. Saul, in desperation violating his own law, makes a witch call up the ghost of Samuel. When have I paid a heavy price for willfully disobeying God? Application to present needs?
Acts 10:9-23. Using the Jewish food laws, the Holy Spirit shows Peter a new vision of the inclusiveness of God’s salvation. When have I had to unlearn my notions of spiritual exclusivity? Have I still more to learn?
Mark 4:10-20. What are some of the qualities of my heart that will make it good ground for Jesus the Sower to raise a great harvest?
