Psalms 73:1-28. Verse 25, can I in all honesty say this to God today? Reviewing yesterday, did I act as though something else mattered more to me than Him?

II Corinthians 10:1-18. Verses 3-5, what specific battle plan must I undertake in my heart and mind, to make every thought obey Christ a little more each day?
Luke 9:18-27. Verse 24, what are some real-world choices I may soon have to make between saving my life and losing it, as Jesus describes here?
