Psalms 72:1-20. Verse 4, how can I and my church do more for the poor, the needy, and the oppressed?

Hebrews 9:23-10:4. Verse 28, if I conduct myself today as one who looks for Christ to appear the second time, how would others notice?
Matthew 10:27-33. What specific fear or worry is lifted off me today by remembering that I have a Father who values every sparrow—and values me infinitely more?
