     - What is God teaching you, and how is it affecting your life?

     - Good application questions for examining a text:
            What does this passage teach about God?
            What does this passage teach about fallen humanity that requires the grace of   
                 God?
            How does this text point to Christ?
            Is there a promise to claim?
            Is there an action or attitude to avoid or embrace?
