What gives you confidence and keeps you confident?
Faith is believing; and without it you will never know what is possible if you don't have it. Holding true to his beliefs of a resurrection of the dead was Paul, as he defended it by saying: “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (1 Corinthians 15:13-14). So, if you have a faith, like Paul, and do not doubt your beliefs, you, too, "will be made alive" (15:12) and continue to live a life with confidence. #FaithInToday #Tomorrow & #YourFuture

How well do you follow instructions?
Your opinion does not matter when you are given instructions; and if you choose to not follow them, you run the risk of hurting yourself. Running the risk of not doing what he was told was Namaan, an angry and entitled soldier thinking he did not have to listen (see 2 Kings 5:11-12); but, fortunately, he listened to Elisha (see 5:13), and "went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him" (5:14) to do. So, if you want to do what is best for yourself, might you choose to only listen and do what you are told to do. For there is great wisdom and reward that comes from doing so. #HoldYourTongue #Listen & #FollowThem

How employee-centered is your workplace?
Employees are the heartbeat of any company or business; and when treated well companies and businesses thrive and survive. So, be it an owner, CEO or decision maker, if you want to run and sustain a successful company or business, might you, too, consider treating your employees "right and fair" (Colossians 4:1). For when you do, they will work for you with all their hearts (see 3:23). #InvestInYourPeople

What keeps you from being able to remember?
When you do not take a moment to pause, look up or reconnect, you not only miss much but you also begin to forget. Helping you and I to keep our memories fresh and alive is Exodus. For, the Lord, "in six days...made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them” (20:11); and the seventh, "the Sabbath day" (20:8), to rest and worship. So, if you want to retain your memories, might you never be too busy. #NeverForget & #MakeTheTime

What do hard days teach you?
It's hard to appreciate good days, when you have never experienced bad ones. For the hard days reveal much. After facing "forty days" (Genesis 7:17) of rain and "a hundred and fifty days" (7:24) of flooding (see Genesis 7:17-24), a rainbow appeared revealing "the token of the covenant" (9:12); and for Noah's faithfulness, God promised that "never again [would] there be another flood to destroy the earth (9:11 NIV). So, when the hard days hit, might you, too, remain hopeful and faithful so He can lead you out of them. #Appreciate #Learn #Grow & #BeBetterFromHavingThem

What are you doing with your royalty?
If you did not know it, you are a royal. Many may not believe this, just like the people of Israel who would "not recognize him" (John 1:10) as the "true light" (1:9); but there were those who humbly and willingly did. And, for those that welcomed Him with open arms, he "gave [them] the right to become children of God" (1:12). So, if you would like to explore and experience your sovereignty, might you consider taking the time to find out about your lineage and all that it offers you. #APrivilege & #Responsibility

How resilient is your house?
It takes time to build a strong house; as there will be property damage and repairs to make. No matter the damage, you can still keep building your house. For when your house is built on the foundation of Christ, He will strengthen and protect it through every weathering (see Ephesians 2:22). So, if you want to withstand the storms, might you consider helping "build [His] church" (Matthew 16:18), thereby allowing you to grow and strengthen yours. #ASolid #Sturdy & #SoundBody

How do you create unity?
Unity is key to any successful relationship, team or community, but takes a great deal of time and commitment to build. Also, seeking unity was the "city of God" (Psalm 87:3) where all people would come together and recognize Him. So, if you seek unity, might you consider using the fountain that He has placed in you (see 87:7) and build it from the ground up. #BeASpring

How will you face the unknowns?
There are many unknowns that you will face, no matter how prepared you are. Trusting the Lord were the Israelites. When they reached "the edge of the Jordan's waters," He told them to "go and stand in the river" (Joshua 3:8); and “as soon as . . . their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing” (Joshua 3:15-16). So, if you need help navigating through the unknowns, might you consider seeking His help, because He can and will give you the tools that you need to survive and succeed. #WithFaithInHim

How truthful are you?
When a lie is involved, trouble and hardship soon follows; and struggling to live honestly were the Ephesians. Knowing this, Paul told them to "put off falsehood and speak truthfully to [their] neighbor, [as they] are all members of one body" (Ephesians 4:25). So, if you struggle with speaking the truth, might you, too, heed Paul's warning. For when both your words and actions are truthful, you create unity among many; and if not, you will continue to struggle in every aspect of your life. #LiesLinger #HonestyInEverything
