Psalms 119:1-48. Verse 17, what will today look like as God answers my prayer for bounty and abundance, not scarcity and lack?

Ephesians 6:1-9. How Jesus wants relationships in the family and the household to glorify him. What is my church doing about this? My role?
Luke 16:19-31. Jesus warns that the haves and have-nots may change places in the next life. What lessons from Abraham, Moses, and the prophets about loving God and neighbor can I put into practice today?
