Psalms 18:1-50. Verse 29, what wall or obstacle am I facing right now, that God will help me get over today?

I Thessalonians 4:1-12. Verses 8 and 9, what practical part can I play in helping people in my community love one another at this time, despite their differences?
Luke 17:20-37. Verse 33, what’s one small step I can take today in laying down my life for Christ?
