Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior
What has a tendency to follow you?
Believe it or not, you have many followers, and some of them are not so good. Fortunately, there is a follower who will always follow you with goodness and love for all the days of your life (see Psalm 23:6). So, might you consider following Him and "dwell in the house of the LORD forever" (23:6). #FollowBack

Why should we sing and sing together?
When someone is willing to sacrifice themselves out of love for us, "every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them" (Revelation 5:13) should have every reason to sing and to sing in harmony. So, might you, together, sing His praises, because He has the whole world in his hands. #ForLoveAndLife

Where do you go to find rest?
Life has a tendency to wear us down and out; and when this happens, you might need a place to go. If so, you are encouraged to "take [his] yoke upon you and learn from [him], for [he is] gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:29). For "all you who are weary and burdened" (11:28), might you consider resting in Him. #YourRandR

Who do you blame for your faults, failures, shortcomings and mistakes?
Placing blame on another catches up with you and gets you nowhere fast, just like "the man and his wife [who] heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day" (Genesis 3:8). Instead of blaming another, just as Adam and Eve did, might you take responsibility for your actions. #OwnThem

How can you run your race and run it well?
Life has a tendency to weigh us down and keep us from getting to where we are going. In order to keep this from happening, we are reminded to "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles" (Hebrews 12:1). For when we shed the baggage, we can "run with perseverance the race marked out for us" (12:1). #PressOn & #TravelLight & #Well

What are your motives?
Whatever they may be, "the Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows!" (Joshua 22:22); because He "reaches every heart and understands every desire and every thought" (1 Chronicles 28:9). So, might your motives be rightful and deserving ones; and if they are not, then might you ask for forgiveness and guidance. #HeKnows

How can you continue to grow?
Each and every day, you have the opportunity to grow. Such growth comes from the knowledge that you gain. While acquiring this knowledge, you have the ability to develop traits that include goodness, self-control, perseverance, godliness and love (see 2 Peter 1:5-7); and "for if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive" (1:8). Might you keep growing, for as long as you can, so that you can continue to be effective and productive. #NeverStopGrowing

What do you take for granted?
To be able to see, walk and talk are gifts like no other; and without them, our lives can be greatly hindered, such as the man who had been lame since birth. While begging for money, at the temple gate, instead of receiving money, Peter gave this man something more valuable. Peter said, to this man, "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk" (Acts 3:6). Directly after, "he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God" (3:8). Now, might you be ever more mindful of what you have and never take anything for granted; for you never know when any of it can be taken away. #LiveEachDay #Gratefully & #Thankfully

Who truly sees you?
Just as He saw Hagar (see Genesis 16:4, 11, 13), He, too, sees you (see 16:13). God is always with us, especially when we trust and believe in Him. Might you let Him in to your life so that he can see you too. #ElRoi

What can you do to be able to make sense of decisions that adversely affect you?
Life challenges us in many ways; and when it does, you have a place, "the temple of the LORD", for which you can go to in order to discover and gain the wisdom and instruction, "the Book of the Law", (2 Kings 22:8), that you need to deal with whatever comes your way. Might you seek the source that can help equip you in order to better understand situations and people. #Seek & #Find #TruthsRevealed
