Psalms 147:1-20. Verses 7-9 and 15-18, if God in fact controls the weather and climate, how does this guide my approach when these become political, economic, and lifestyle issues?

Job 6:15-30. Job’s disappointment with his friends. Who needs me to show up this coming week as a bringer of God’s love and truth? What are my do’s and don’ts for that errand of mercy?
