Bible Sunday 5/12: Enter by the Door

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 26:1-12. Verse 2, asking God to examine me today. How does this examination take place? How can I know the findings? What action must I then take?

Ezekiel 35:1-15. God decrees punishment for the enemies of his people. How can I at the same time watch this process unfold and obey Jesus’ command to love my enemies?

Acts 1:15-26. Can I trust God with the vital choices Americans must make in this political year?

John 10:1-10. What do I most need to have Jesus the Good Shepherd do for me today?
