2 Corinthians 13:5 says, “Try your own selves whether ye are in the faith, prove your own selves…” Self-examination should be a constant exercise, but how many are willing to do it? Most people will look in the mirror every morning to examine themselves, but how many will look into scripture and let it examine them (James 1:22-24)? Examine yourself in the following questions:

  • Am I so critical that I see a person’s weak points quicker than I do their good points?
  • Do I hurt people with my sharp and caustic remarks?
  • Can I be completely trusted with confidence?
  • Do I follow after the things which make for peace, or do my words and conduct promote strife?
  • Am I so childish that everyone has to handle me with caution to keep me from getting mad?
