How prayerful are you?
Prayer is communication with The Almighty; and through this dialogue the potential to create a "Spirit of wisdom and revelation", along with an "enlightened" heart" (Ephesians 1:17-18), just as He did for Paul so he could continue to pray and serve others while imprisoned. So, if prayerful, may you deepen and keep the conversation going, never stop giving Him thanks, and always remember Him in your prayers (see 1:16). If not, might you consider giving it a try. #PotencyOfPrayer

What do you fear?
Much fear exists. For the Israelites, it was "when [they] saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, [that] they trembled with fear. [And] They stayed at a distance" (Exodus 20:18). Telling them to "not be afraid" (20:20), yet fear God was Moses. Such a fear is different than the rest. Fearing God is knowing His grace, mercy, love and willingness to forgive. So, if you are to fear anything, might you consider only fearing Him and nothing else. #Facing & #OvercomingYourFears

What do you do with your wealth?
So much wealth goes untapped, as everyone has it, but does not use it. For when you are "generous and willing to share ", you become "rich in good deeds" (1 Timothy 6:18). So, might you consider reexamining your financials, aside from money, and see how much you can still grow your wealth. #ShareYourWealth & #WatchItGrow

How detail oriented are you? & Why do details matter?
Details matter, both big and small. When building six tabernacles, they did (see Exodus Chapters 35-40). From the “lampstand” (25:10-22), to the bread “table of acacia wood” (25:23-30), to an altar “for burning incense” (30:1-6), and an “ark” (25:10-22), each had great importance. So, if anything means anything to you, might you consider taking the time to cover and include all details, because when you do they, too, will reveal their value and serve you well. #CoverAllBases❤️

How willing are you to let yourself be used, and by whom?
You do not have to be "wise by human standards", "influencial" or "of noble birth" (1 Corinthians 1:16) to contribute and make a difference. For "God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise...the weak things of the world to shame the strong...[as well as] the lowly" (1:27-29 NIV). So, if you want to be used, might you consider being used by Him. #AHumbleHelper

How hopeful are you? & What keeps you hopeful?
Low points can create doubt and uncertainty. Yet, even so, hope stills remain. For "The LORD is good to those who hope in him, to the one who seeks him" (Lamentations 3:25). So, before you allow the doubt to take hold, might you always remember that "His compassions never fail. [and] They are new every morning" (3:22-23). #NeverStopBelieving

How do you overcome loneliness?
"God sets the lonely in families" (Psalm 68:6), only to "[lead] out the prisoners with singing” (68:6). As a daily bearer of your burdens (see 68:19), He knows your loneliness; and when you allow him to dwell in your life, He will show you how to create meaningful relationships and connections with like-minded others. So, whenever the lonely sets in, might you reach outward instead of inward. #RemainConnected

How generous are you, when times are tight and tough?
Circumstance can make a significant and lasting impression, especially on those who experience hard times. Knowing hardship and poverty all too well were the Israelites, as "[they] were slaves in Egypt" (Deuteronomy 24:18, 22). But, through Christ's generosity, he freed them; and for doing so, the Israelites reciprocated Christ's goodness through their harvest as they left some "for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow" (Deuteronomy 24:19). So, might you, too, be generous with whatever you can. #RemainFaithfullyGenerous

How do you treat your ailments?
Not all ailments require a prescription, surgery or therapy. Healed by faith was a man who was "an invalid for thirty-eight years" (John 5:5). Once Jesus found the ailing man and confirmed his wishes, he "at once"..."was cured; [and] ...picked up his mat and walked" (5:9). So, instead of thinking that only medicine can cure or treat what ails you, might you also consider another treatment route, faith, as it is highly effective. #RxFaith

What service approach do you take?
A "Me Me Me" approach presents many challenges; and encouraging you to "not use your freedom to indulge the flesh"; [but] rather, serve one another humbly in love" is Paul (Galatians 5:13). So, if you struggle with the "Me" approach, might you try the "We" approach and see what it can do to your life and your relationships with others. #WE or #ME
