ANW's Thoughtful Thursdays

ANW's Thoughtful Thursdays

What questions do you have and need answered?

Finding answers to questions that you have may be hard to find. But, if you truly want to find them they can be found from a person who can and will answer any one of them; and if you do, you are required to "receive the kingdom of God like a child" (Luke 18:17). For He wants you to depend on him and ask him anything; and when you do, you will get the answers you seek. So, might you "humble [yourself] before the Lord, and he will lift you up" (James 4:10). #AskAway & #GetAnswers

ANW's Wisdom Wednesdays

ANW's Wisdom Wednesdays

What standards have you set for yourself; and how are you able to achieve and maintain them?

Perfection is never an option, but you can always strive and work to achieve it. Trying and striving to do holy work (see Leviticus 22), but "ceremonially unclean" (22:3), were Israelite priests. Fortunately, God took it upon himself to "make them holy" (22:9), as He gave them his son, Jesus, so that he could be "a holy sacrifice for them so they [could] be made holy by [his] truth” (John 17:19 NLT). So, whatever standard you set and live by, might you consider role modeling yourself after and seeking counsel to the one set the bar for all standards. For when you lack nothing and sacrifice everyone for everyone, you are the standard not the rule. #AlwaysTheStandard #KeepingWorking & #TheWorkNeverStops

ANW's Tuesday Takeaways

ANW's Tuesday Takeaways

How well built is your house?

Not all homes are built well; and those that are not begin to break down quickly. But, if your house is built with God in mind, "He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge" (Isaiah 33:6). So, if you want a sound foundation, strong walls and a stable roof, might you consider including him in your daily building maintenance, as you will have access to all of His tools that come with a lifetime guarantee. #BuildItGodStrong #RRRChallengeYourself

ANW's Meaningful Mondays

ANW's Meaningful Mondays

How do you use your blessings?

Blessings do not just happen by accident; and when they arrive they arrive at the right time. In order to collect a debt, creditors sought payment for a poor widowed woman's two sons; and in an effort to save them, the woman went to Elisha for help. Only seeing a small jar of olive oil in her home, Elisha directed her to gather as many jars as possible from her neighbors; and as "they brought the jars to her...she kept pouring” (2 Kings 4:5) and filled them all, allowing her to be able to pay her late husband's debt. So, be it giving or receiving, may your life and others be filled with many blessings. #ItIsABlessingToBlessAndBeBlessed

ANW's Savory Sundays

ANW's Savory Sundays

What treasures are revealed by respect?

With respect, especially a deep one, comes an "ear to wisdom” (Proverbs 2:2) that helps you “understand the fear of the Lord and [your ability to] find the knowledge of God” (2:5), along with "discretion [that] will watch over you, and [an] understanding [that] will guard you" (2:11). So, may you always be respectful and find the "hidden treasure" (2:4) that awaits you. #AlwaysGive & #GraciouslyReceive

ANW’s Soulful Saturdays

ANW’s Soulful Saturdays

How well protected are you?

There is only so much you can do to keep yourself and those you care about safe. Seeking protection for her husband’s wrongful behavior towards King David was Abigail. Before King David took matters into his his own hands, Abigail reminded him that “even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the LORD your God” (1 Samuel 25:29). With this, she kept King David from “needless bloodshed” and “having avenged himself” (25:31). So, if you truly want to be safe and protected, might you, too, ask the Lord to “bundle” you up. #AlwaysSafeAndSecure #BestProtection

ANW's Fruitful Fridays

How do you recognize and avoid being deceived?

Many fall prey, especially "naive people" (Romans 16:18), to "smooth talk and flattery" (16:18)-all "empty words" (Ephesians 5:6). In an effort to recognize and shield yourself against such deception, Paul urges you to be “strong in the Lord and in his mighty power” (6:10). So, if you want to you can avoid "hollow and deceptive philosophy" (Colossians 2:8), might you root and build yourself up in Christ (2:7). #BuildASolidFoundation & #See & #Know #WhatIsRealAndWhatIsNot
