Psalm 72 is a prayer for God’s justice, fair judgment for the poor, protection for the weak, peace for the land, and prosperity and abundance. Where am I placed and trusted to have authority? Who do I “rule” over? Is my leadership a reflection of Jesus? Am I seeking justice in my family and in my community? Am I taking care of the weak and the poor in my own neighborhood and city? Am I sowing peace? 

Leviticus 23:26-41 These yearly festivals brought life and healing to the people of God. Sabbaths were not optional. We need them.

When I think back to when I’m most angry with family members, like boiling over mad, it’s first and foremost because my heart got hurt.
