Psalms 115:1-18. What idols will subtly try to tempt me away from the one true God today?
Genesis 47:1-31. Did Joseph’s hard terms for famine relief, and harsh tax rate, contribute to the tyrannical form of government that ultimately victimized the children of Israel?

Matthew 13:18-23. Verse 19, what lies and tricks may Satan use against me today to steal the word of God out of my heart?
