Lent: Day 19

Read Psalm 18

Each day we'll add a question members of the Holy Club (started by Charles Wesley at Oxford) asked themselves each day during their private devotions:

Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially the Pharisees who despised the publican?

Am I defeated in any part of my life? Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy, or distrustful? 

Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other          words, am I a hypocrite?

Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?

Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?

Can I be trusted?

Am I a slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?

Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?

Did the Bible live in me today?

Do I give it time to speak to me everyday?

Am I enjoying prayer?

When was the last time I spoke to anybody about my faith?

Do I pray about the money I spend?

Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?

Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
