Studying this morning's four 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 77:1-20. Verse 14, what wonders have I seen God do, for which I joyously thank him today
Isaiah 33:1-24. Verse 22, at the close of this political year, how shall I thank God for his hand on all three branches of our government?
Deuteronomy 26:1-11. Verse 9, in what ways, by God’s grace, does our land—despite all its troubles—still flow with milk and honey?
Luke 17:11-19. Why does Jesus set so much importance on thanking God and giving him glory? How can I antidote the poison of ingratitude subtly working on me?
