Drawing by Joselyn L. WilliamsA David Psalm
23-24 Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about; See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life.
NOTES: David is asking God to investigate his life and in the process help him to guide him on the road to eternal life.
QUESTION: Why does David ask God to investigate his life? What is he asking God to investigate? What do we need God to investigate in our lives?
Answer: He wants God to investigate his life to make sure that he is living righteously before God. He is asking God to look at his ways. We need God to do the same thing for us. We need God to examine us and see if we are living righteously before him.

Prayer: Lord, examine my heart and my ways and help me to be as you want. Guide me Lord so that I can have the gift of eternal life. Move out all things that would keep me from being as you have called me to be.
