How do you handle false accusations?
As hard as it is to build your name and reputation, it is even harder to get it back, even when falsely accused. Offering help to restore your honor and prove you innocent, is Jesus himself, as he, too, was falsely accused and horribly treated for being good and honest, as he was "spit" on, "struck", and "slapped" (Matthew 26:67) by slanderous authority figures. Despite the accusations and abuse, Jesus remained faithful and true to himself and his Maker for being here to suffer the "transgressions" and "iniquities" for all people (Isaiah 53:5); and still rose above it all. So, if or when wrongly accused of something that you did not do, might you, too, remain steadfast in the truth. For, in due time, and at the right time, the truth will be revealed and set you free. #JusticeWillBeServed

Don't be too quick to throw away old pillows or blankets. Take unused or old blankets and turn them in to new pillows and coordinate them with the old ones. It's amazing the combinations that you can create and spice up a living area or make it look brand new. #RRRChallenge

How well do you pick up the signs?
The signs aka answers are right in front of you, if you pay attention. It took a donkey to catch Balaam's attention (see Numbers 22:15-38); and when it did, "he bowed low and fell facedown" (22:31) and admitted that he "sinned" and "did not realize [that God was] standing in the road to oppose [him]" (22:34). So, might you consider taking the time to notice and take to "what [he tells] you" (22:20), because it is always in your best interest and where the answers are found. #TheSignsAreEverywhere #DontMissThem

How do you handle deception?
Deception breeds lies and dishonesty; and when discovered you never look at the deceiver(s) the same way again, as there will always be a lingering mistrust. In order to avoid deception, Scripture reminds you to "walk in obedience to his commands" (2 John 1:6), and if you want to "receive your full reward" (1:8 NLT), might you always follow the rules. #RemainTruthful & #SteerClearFromHarmsWay

How can you survive in the wilderness?
The wilderness can also be your ally instead of your enemy, maybe even a sanctuary. Hitting monumental obstacles through life, such as fleeing from King Saul (see 1 Samuel 23:14-15; 24:1) and his son, Absalom, (see 2 Samuel 15:13-30) was David. Despite them all, David, often, took time to retreat to the wilderness to "seek" (Psalm 63:1) God to worship, honor and praise him (see 63:2-6) for his constant help; and while there, David acknowledged that his "whole being longs for [God]" (63:1) and that His love is "better than life" (63:3). So, if you, too, need to step in to the wilderness, might you, too, honor and give thanks and praise to God for his goodness. #GatherSurvivalTools & #LearnHowToSurvive

ANW"s Wisdom Wednesdays
ANW"s Wisdom Wednesdays
How do or can you understand or identify with another?
The only way to understand what another is going through is to walk in their shoes; and if not, you will never understand their challenges or struggles. Able to walk the walk is Jesus Himself. For He was “fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God” (Hebrews 2:17). So, if you want to be able to know what another is experiencing, might you ask for guidance from someone who knows what everyone in this world is going through. #HeKnows #HeUnderstands & #HeIdentifiesWithEveryone

ANW's Tuesday Takeaways
ANW's Tuesday Takeaways
What do you see when suffering?
Suffering creates an intuitive awareness; as it teaches you a keener sense of how others behave; how to respond and breathe; and whom you can trust and confide in. In Job's suffering, he saw God not only with his "ears", but with his "eyes" (Job 42:5) too; and because he saw Him, it caused him, from then on, to seek God for everything (see 42:2-6). So, in your suffering, might you not only hear of Him, but "see" Him as well. #SightInSuffering❤️

How peaceful is your life?
Unresolved issues can keep you from finding peace; and until you make the decision to confront them face to face you will continue to live in constant turmoil and remain behind bars. Wanting to "give you" (John 14:12 NIV) peace is the Prince of Peace himself, Jesus. He does not want you to "let your [heart] be troubled" or "afraid" (14:12 NIV). So, if you want calm, clarity and contentment, might you seek Him. #SetYourselfFree & #FindPeace

What needs searched and examined?
Much information can be found out about you. Yet, there is only one person who can truly "know [your] heart" (Psalm 139:23). It is the Lord that knows when you "sit", "rise" and "perceive...thoughts" (139:2). He is "familiar with all [your] ways" (139:3). So, if you want or need help figuring out something or yourself, might you consider going to the source that can give you any and all information that you need to know. #Seek & #Search & #FindYourAnswers

What will you give?
Owning everything comes from the man who created you (see 1 Chronicles 29:14-16); and knowing this well were "all of the officials of Israel" (1 Chronicles 28:1) who gave "freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD" (28:9). So, might you, too, also consider giving "willingly" (1 Chronicles 29:6) of the "abundance" (29:16) that He has bestowed upon you. #GiveGenerously & #WithoutHesitation

How do you behave when you struggle and suffer?
Much can be learned about a person, yourself included, when life is not going your or their way. The authentic person appears when struggle, strain, and pain take hold. Knowing this all too well was Jesus as his disciples turned on him by leaving, fleeing (see Matthew 26:56) and denying him (see John 18:15-17, 25-27) when He was arrested and then later crucified. So, when the inevitable struggles and hurt happen, might you remain true to who you are, and consider taking heart and home with Him so that He can "turn" your sorrows in "to joy” (John 16:20) that “no one [can or] will take away” (John 16:22). #TrueCharacterRevealed
