Psalms 4:1-8. Verse 3 KJV, realizing I’ve been set apart by God, what privileges and what obligations are thereby placed on me, in the way I think and act today?

Romans 11:22-36. Verses 22 and 30, when have I experienced the severity of God? How did it finally reveal his goodness and mercy? Application for today?
Matthew 15:1-20. Verse 19, as Jesus examines my heart right now, which of these evils does he find there in disguised or open form? Action point?
