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 18:1-50. Verse 28, what situation am I facing right now where I need to have God light a candle in the darkness for me?
Genesis 7:1-24. How has God helped the members of my family to care for each other in tough times, as Noah’s family did? How can I thank him today?
II Peter 2:1-5. What are some of the deadly lies now engulfing the whole world, as the rising waters flooded Noah’s world? How can I stay afloat today on God’s righteousness as he did?
Matthew 3:13-17. Verse 15, suffer it to be so now. Navigating life’s complexities, where can I benefit today from Jesus’ wise example of patience, restraint, and timing?
