Psalms 62:1-12. Verse 8 KJV, how long has it been since I poured out my heart to God? Suppose I took time to do it today, what might be the result?

Matthew 23:1-22. Who are the Pharisees of this present age? Which of their hypocrisies am I susceptible to in my worst moments? What does Jesus want from me instead of pharisaism?
Matthew 23:23-39. Verse 37, what situation in my life right now is addressed by the image of our Lord Jesus as a protective mother hen sheltering its defenseless baby chicks?
