Psalms 5:1-12. Verse 3, entering the new year, what steps can I take to be sure I’m putting God first each morning?

Hebrews 3:1-11. Verse 6 KJV, if Jesus considers me a member of his own household, what’s therefore given me and asked of me? What opportunities can I find this day to serve him with confidence and rejoicing?
Matthew 3:1-12. Verses 10-12, three verses about fire. What part if any does fire have in my discipleship under Jesus Christ?
