Psalm 65 - God is in control of all things. All our daily needs are provided by His hand. All people look to Him, whether they know it or not.
1 Samuel 12:1-25 - Israel has asked for a king, which comes from a desire to be like the other nations. The evil that Samuel talks about here is their rejection of Yahweh as king. He says that they can still do well to trust in Yahweh and worship Him alone. The problem comes when they rely on the king himself rather than as an agent of God's work. This is a fine line for us as well.
Acts 22:30-23:11 - Paul is very clever here, living up to Jesus' command to the disciples to be as innocent as doves and as shrewd as snakes. Paul is on trial because of his confession of Jesus as Lord, but also because of the hope he has in the resurrection. He knows that Pharisees and Sadducees don't agree on this.
