How joyful are you?
Joy can be found in all seasons and situations, as "God has made the one as well as the other" (Ecclesiastes 7:13-14 NIV) so that you can understand and appreciate both sides. And, when you come to "know [such] wisdom" and understand and appreciate "all that God has done" (3:16-17), you can enjoy life and "eat and drink and be glad" (8:15). #JoyInEverything #LiveFullyAndJoyfully

What crowd do you follow?
Many begin to lose themselves when they begin to conform to the ways of others. Unwilling to listen to what "God says" (2 Chronicles 18:13) were four hundred false prophets trying to influence others to "agree with [their words], and speak favorably" (18:12); and for not listening, they were “scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd” (18:16). So, instead of just agreeing with something, might you, first, consider seeking what God has to say, before you go with popular opinion. #ThinkForYourself & #ListenToHim

Whom can you honor today?
Many women are the heartbeat of a family, as they are always behind the scenes or on the sidelines taking care of what needs to get done every day. Taking the time to instill "sincere faith" ( 2 Timothy 1:5) in to Timothy, so that he could carry on their legacy, was his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois. So, in honor of all the women that you call or think of as Mom, might you consider taking a moment, today, and let them know how much they are loved and appreciated.

How well do you keep your word?
Keeping your word is vital; and when you break it, you are viewed, like King Saul, "detestable" (Deuteronomy 8:9-12). King Saul struggled with keeping his word and doing what was right, as he found himself "[expelling] mediums and spiritists from [Israel]" (1 Samuel 28:3) but only to find himself reaching out to a "medium" to help him fight a battle (1 Samuel 28:7). So, if you want to be respected, acknowledged, or taken seriously, "all you need to say is simply "Yes" or "No"; [and] anything beyond that comes from the evil one" (Matthew 5:37). #HonorYourPromises

What keeps you from getting trapped?
Being trapped doesn't just limit itself to being physically confined or pinned down, as it can also happen when doubt, anxiety or anger takes hold. "Dead [and trapped] in [their]...sins" (Ephesians 2:1) were the Ephesians, due to "obeying the devil" (2:2). Fortunately, through God's "grace", they were "saved" (2:8). So, if you find yourself trapped and are looking for a way out, you, too, can be "saved", but only through "faith", "the gift of God" (2:8). #BeRescuedByFaith

How colorful is your landscape?
No matter the climate or terrain, like "the desert", "[it] will [still] bloom with flowers" (Isaiah 35:2 NIRV). But, in order for the flowers to keep blooming, they need continual care. So, wherever you put your roots down, might you always remember to water, weed, and fertilize it so you can enjoy the blooms year-round. #TLCMaintenance

How well do you see?
Even with perfect vision, you can still be blind. Helping Elisha's servant to see what he already knew and was seeing came when Elisha prayed for the Lord to "open his [servant's] eyes...so that he may see the hills full of horses and chariots of fire" (2 Kings 6:17). So, if your vision is clouded or narrowed, and you would like to see everything clearly, might you consider asking Him, in prayer, like Elisha, to readjust your eyes so that you, too, can see what you have been missing. #RemoveTheRoseColoredGlasses & #SeePerfectly

Why are you here?
There is intention and purpose in everything that He does, and you being here is one of them. "Before [He] formed you in the womb [He] knew you, and before you were born [He] consecrated you" (Jeremiah 1:5). So, might you consider taking the "different gifts" that he has graced you with, once you figure out what they are, and use them for what He intended (Romans 12:6). #FearfullyAndWonderfullyMade

How obedient are you?
To obey is to love, trust, and respect, not be manipulated, intimidated, or persuaded, especially when it comes to God. He offers and asks those "who love [him]" to "obey" "[his] commandments" (John 14:15 NLT); and for those that do, he will "give [them] another advocate to help [them] and be with [them] forever”, receiving “the Spirit of truth" (14:16-17). So, might you consider following His rules. #SpiritualHonesty❤️

What tears do you cry?
Not all tears are sad ones, as there are tears that are filled with profound meaning and immeasurable love, joyful ones. Revealing joyful tears was Jesus, as he healed a man, blind from birth (see John 9:1-9 KJV) and raised Lazarus from the dead (see 11:33-44 NIV). So, if you have or have not, but want to continue experiencing or experience "tears of joy [streaming] down [your face]", might you consider letting him "lead [you] home with great care" (Jeremiah 31:9 NLT). #LetThemFlow
