Psalm 65 - This psalm reminds us, among other things, that God did not simply create everything, wind it up and leave it alone. God is in total control of all things. From the weather to the way food gets to our table, God's hand is at work.
Deuteronomy 31:1-29 - How have we eaten and grown fat and turned to other gods? (verse 20)
Matthew 19:16-30 - It's interesting that Jesus doesn't refer to the commandments regarding worshiping God alone, or taking the Lord's name in vain. Jesus is dealing strickly on a horizontal level with the rich man. The man's problem is not that he missed one more task (give away the possessions), but that he couldn't give up his identity as a doer, a rich man, and take on discipleship with Jesus.
