What concerns you?
Every one has needs; and when you begin to worry and become anxious about them they take a toll. Understanding worry, but assuring you to not do so, is Jesus himself (see Matthew 6:25-27). For "your heavenly Father already knows all your needs" (Matthew 6:32) and will meet them accordingly. So, if you need help with whatever is weighing you down and wearing you out, might you "seek the kingdom of God above all else" (Matthew 6:33 NLT). #HesGotYouCovered

How do you keep your house in order amongst the chaos?
From the beginning of time, chaos has covered the earth (see Genesis 1:2 NRSV); but even so, He has found a way to bring order to it all, as He is The One who "created the heavens and earth and put everything in place" (Isaiah 45:18 NLT). So, the next time your life gets chaotic, might you take a moment to look outside and remember that "God is not a God of disorder but of peace"; and "[He] doesn't stir [you] up into confusion; he brings [you] in to harmony" (1 Corinthians 14:33). #AnOrderlyHome

How do you react to agitators?
Those scared of the truth react out of fear and wreak havoc on those who threaten them. Faced with threats, lies and rumors, along with being mobbed and beaten (see Acts 21:28-29), was Paul, as he testified in both "Jerusalem" and "Rome" about God (23:11). In the midst of his arrest, Paul took the opportunity, with permission (see 21:40), to speak to those causing trouble and enlightened them with the truth about the Lord (see 22:2-21). So, instead of retaliating to others hate and jealousy, might you, too, "Take courage!" (23:11), like Paul, and keeping sharing your love through whatever you say and do. #RemainCool #Calm & #Collected

How healthy are your surroundings?
Your surroundings say much about your lifestyle and well-being. For King David's, "the hills [were] clothed with gladness" and "the valleys [were] mantled with grain; [as] they [shouted] for joy and [song]" (Psalm 65:12-13). So, may your surroundings, too, be "filled with awe" and "songs of joy" (65:8). #LiveWell

What do you have a hard time seeing?
Darkness looms, even in the light, making it very difficult, if not blinding, to see. Helping "open eyes that are blind" (Isaiah 42:7) is the Lord himself, as He promised to be "a light for the Gentiles" (42:6), because of the darkness that blinded them, both spiritually and physically. So, if you are having difficulty seeing, might you, too, consider letting Him "take hold" (42:6) of your hand and lead you back in to the light so that you can see everything much more clearly. #RemoveTheBlinders

What alterations do you need to make?
When you continue to wear the same thing and nothing changes, it might be time for a new wardrobe. Instructing followers to "wake up from [their] slumber" (Romans 13:11), "put aside the deeds of darkness" (13:12), such as "dissension and jealousy" (13:13), "the armor of light" (13:12) was Paul. So, if in need of new clothes, might you, too "clothe [yourself] with the Lord Jesus Christ" (13:14) and see how much it improves your looks. #GetComfortableInTheUncomfortable & #MakeTheNecessaryChanges

How do you remain joyful?
Only you can determine your joy; and when you live righteously, you prosper (see Proverbs 11:10); and, if not, you pay dearly. For "the LORD detests dishonest scales" (11:1) and sees that the "the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness" (11:5). So, may your life be filled with joy as "accurate weights find favor with him" (11:1). #Protect & #ShareYourJoy

What are you grateful for?
There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for, even when you are in the midst of disagreement and disturbance. Reminding you and I to be grateful is The Word. For the Bible is filled with much to be grateful for: "light" (Psalm 104:2), "clouds" (1:3), "wind" (1:4), "water" (1:10), "mountains and valleys" (1:8), "animals" (1:11), "grass" (1:14), "food" (1:14), "trees" (1:16), "moon" (1:19), "sun" (1:22), "sea" (1:25), and so much more, because of His "unfailing love"(Psalm 107: 8, 15, 21, 31) for you and me. So, might you remember, in all circumstances, to "give thanks to the Lord, for he is good" (107:1). #AnAttitudeOfGratitude #MakeAList & #PraiseTheLORD

What needs shedding?
Every day, you lose millions of dead skin cells, leaving a trail of shed skin everywhere you go. Your nature, how you think, feel and behave, can also have that same result. So, if you "have lost all sensitivity" (Ephesians 4:18) and are "darkened in [your] understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in [you] due to the hardening of [your] heart" (Ephesians 4:18-19), like the gentiles, you might consider "[letting] the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes"...and..."Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy" (4:22-24 NLT). #ShedTheAttitude & #RenewIt

What do struggles unfold?
Much lies within the struggle; and you can not appreciate its value until do you. For there is a "set eternity in the human heart" (Ecclesiastes 3:11), given by God, that will allow you to live life "to the full" (John 10:10); and when such beauty is found, "former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind" (Isaiah 65:17). So, instead of trying to fight or avoid your struggles, might you embrace, face, and flourish because of it. #RevealsTruths & #BuildsFaith & #Character
