Psalms 119:1-48. Verse 10 KJV, what are the attitudes that may result in my wandering away from God? What are the consequences when I wander? How shall I guard against that today?

Acts 24:1-21. Verse 16, Paul’s conscience, void of offense toward God and men. What’s on my conscience today? Action point?
Mark 14:27-42. Verses 37-41, what would it look like for me to stand alert with Jesus all day today, not sleepily but watchfully?
