Psalms 137:1-9. When have I felt way out of place, exiled in a strange land? How did God show up? Present application?
Isaiah 39:1-8. Hezekiah’s costly indiscretion. Why does God require me to handle my spiritual treasures with confidentiality, privacy, and discretion? Prayer point for today>

Luke 1:26-38. Verse 37, aren’t there some things I have thoughtlessly regarded as impossible to God?
