Psalms 97:1-12. Verse 10 KJV, why do I find it easier to actively love God than to actively hate evil? What would it look like today for me to actively, implacably hate evil?

I Peter 3:18-22. How am I a different person today as a result of Jesus’ resurrection and my baptism?
Matthew 2:1-11. What qualities of the Magi, journeying to Bethlehem, shall I ask God to bring out in me today?
