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 49:1-20. Verse 15, my God alone conquers the grave. What false goals and backward values must I get rid of today, in order to center myself on God first and foremost?
I Kings 1:1-53. Solomon is proclaimed king by David’s orders, thwarting the designs of Adonijah. When have ambition and self-aggrandizement led me into sin? Application to present needs?
Acts 18:1-17. Many in Corinth are won to Christ by Paul’s ministry, despite resistance by the enraged Jews. Verses 9-11, what call has Jesus placed on me, for which I will need his help and protection today?
Mark 10:1-12. Verse 5, what moments of choice, large or small, will I face today where it’s a matter of hardness of heart vs. goodness of heart? A matter of doing it Moses’ way or Jesus’ way?
