Bible Thursday 8/13: Coming

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 105:1-45. When have I made my own personal Exodus, walking away from earthly things to find heavenly things and the face of God? How did God help me in that time of daring?

II Kings 3:1-27. Elisha with prophetic authority shows the kings of Judah and Israel how God will give them victory over Moab. What important matter in my life is unclear and troubling? How shall I bring it to God?

Acts 27:1-12. Related, Paul warns of a shipwreck but is ignored. What is the clearest warning I ever got from God, that I heeded? Why don’t I get more of them?

Mark 14:53-, 65. Jesus, brought to trial on lies, admits he is the Christ. Verse 62, even if not with my outward eye, can I see with my mind’s eye right now, the Son at the Father’s right hand? How does that change everything for me today?
