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 78:1-40. Verses 8 and 37, stedfast with God. How will my spiritual stedfastness be put to the test today?
Genesis 31:1-55. Jacob and Laban settle their quarrel in God’s name. What strained relationship shall I ask the Lord to help me reconcile today?
Malachi 2:1-12. Verses 6 and 7, the high standard God expects of his priests and ministers. Who is someone I know that lives up to this? How have I been blessed as a result?
Matthew 12:15-21. The mild, patient, winsome demeanor of Jesus Christ. What bruised reed or smoking flax has been put in my care today?
