What weaknesses do you need to face and overcome?
Everyone has at least one weakness; and in any weakness there is power. Being taken, as ordered, from an army of 32,000 to only "three hundred" (Judges 7:8) was Gideon; and with the Lord's help was "given...victory" (7:9 NLT). So, whenever you are confronted with weakness, might you ask Him for strength to overcome them, because his "power is made perfect in [your] weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). #SeekHisStrength

What dwells within your heart?
There are those who never leave you, as they continue to reside in your heart. Wanting to also "make his home in your [heart]" (Ephesians 3:17 NLT) is the Lord himself. For if you do, "he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit" (3:16 NLT). So, might you consider allowing Him to dwell there as well and benefit from his "gracious, unlimited resources" (3:16 NLT). #APermanentResident

How do you remove the internal silence?
When you get angry or frustrated, the heart has a tendency to become silent and fill itself with "evil thoughts" (Matthew 15:19). So, instead of allowing your heart to harbor these toxins and "defile" (15:20) you, might you quickly release them and fill it with peace and joy. #BreakTheSilence & #ReleaseTheToxins

How willing are you to hear and share the truth with others?
The truth reveals itself in many different ways, and, if paying attention, it can be received, if willing, through a whisper, a nod or constructive criticism. For Ezekiel, his came to him by creatures with wings that sounded "like the roar of rushing waters" (Ezekiel 1:24), as he was tasked with "[speaking God's] words [to the Israelites]" (2:7). So, whatever context the truth reveals itself, might you take notice, embrace it, and share it with others. #SurroundYourselfWithTruth

What do you own?
Whatever you have is His, as you own nothing. For "every animal of the forest is [his] and the cattle on a thousand hills" (Psalm 50:10); and He "has no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens (50:9). In addition, He also sent His son "to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). So, might you consider taking these gracious gifts and use them for good and in ways that will honor Him. #AGrateful & #FaithfulSteward

What can help you appreciate your struggles?
Some times it can be hard to appreciate or see the value in rejection, no response or the grind. Helping you to see why is reading what The Word has to say. These words provide answers to your struggles, as He has the insight, as well as the foresight, to show and lead you to learn and appreciate what you are going through and why. So, when you can not appreciate the struggle, might you consider taking the time to find out, because "all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). #GetYourAnswers & #FindOutWhy

What do you believe in?
Doubt and worry can plague and cause one to question their beliefs and possibly lose faith all together. Having no faith was a father whose son had been afflicted since childhood (see Mark 9:21). But, after asking for help, Jesus told the man that "everything is possible for one who believes" (Mark 9:23); and shortly thereafter, the man said "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief" (9:24). So, might you consider putting your faith in to something or someone that never causes you to question anything again. #ATrueBeliever & #FaithfulFollower

Who notices you?
Many believe that they go unnoticed; and feeling the same was a blind man sitting along the roadside as Jesus passed by. In passing, Jesus noticed the man and asked "What do you want me to do for you?" He replied, "Lord, I want to see" (Luke 18:41), and because of his faith he was healed (see 18:42). So, for those of you who also feel as such, might you think again, because the Lord notices everything. #YouMatter & #AreNoticed

How do you protect your well-being?
You can either make your life as difficult or as easy as you want it to be, when it comes to dealing with those who try to break you down. Those that get to you will create fear, worry and doubt. Dealing with such people was King David, as he had "tens of thousands of people...against [him]" (Psalm 3:6); and instead of caving in to fear and doubt, he reached out to his "shield" (3:3), and once he did, he was able to " lie down and sleep . . . because the Lord [sustained him]” (3:5). So, if you want to live a happy and healthy life, even among the foes, might you consider doing what David did. #YourPeaceOfMind

What do you question?
Nothing happens by chance, especially you. Having to reassure the Colossians of their existence and the world around them was Peter, as he told them that "all things were created" in him (Colossians 1:16), and that is why "all things hold together" (1:17). So, if you ever question yourself or your surroundings, just know that you are meant to be here, along with a true masterpiece to take in and enjoy. #Anymore #JustAskHim & #FindOut
