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 38:1-22. Verse 22, make haste to help me. Is there some need for which it seems God has been very slow to hear my prayers? What might his purpose be? How can I get the patience to see it through?
II Samuel 20:1-26. The brutal methods of Joab, David’s general. When have I let myself act as if the end justifies the means? Why does this offend God?
Acts 16:11-15. As Paul begins his ministry in Greece, the godly Lydia steps forward to help. How can I put myself in a posture of receptivity to link up with the faith partners Jesus has chosen for me today?
Mark 8:34 - 9:1. What specifically is the cross Jesus wants me to carry at this season of my life?
