Why be anxious?
Anxiety can debilitate you, if you let it. Whatever is going to happen will happen and there is nothing that you can do to change it. But, what can comfort you is His presence. For when you hold Him near, He will protect your "[heart] and...[mind]" (Philippians 4:7). So, "do not be anxious about anything, but...present your requests to God" (4:6); and "Rejoice!" (4:4). #RemainCalm

How can you become wiser?
With wisdom, not only comes knowledge, but also "peace and prosperity" (Proverbs 3:2) and "love and faithfulness" (3:3); and the only way that you can receive such wisdom is if you are willing to "trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your [path] straight" (3:6). So, if you seek more wisdom, you know what you need to do and where to go and get it. #GoToTheSource

How can you help create community?
A community thrives when they are dedicated. Desiring to become a community were people from the early church, as they "devoted themselves to the apostles" teaching...fellowship...sharing in meals, and...prayer" (Acts 2:42). When you have people with similar mindsets they become "one in heart and mind" (4:32). So, if you yearn for togetherness, might you find such a community and help grow it. #GetInvolved

How quick are you to label or believe labels?
Labels are quickly placed on others way before they should be. But, no matter the label, "rich and poor have this in common: The LORD is the Maker of them all" (Proverbs 22:2); and "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). So, instead of grouping or classifying people right away, might you consider taking the time and see it for yourself firsthand. #RemoveTheLabel

What causes you to become distracted?
Distractions are interruptions, diversions, intrusions and hindrances that can stifle your productivity and adversely affect your well-being, especially if you allow them to. It is until you make a conscious decision, just like David did, to not allow yourself to become distracted. For it is when David "calmed and quieted [himself]" (Psalm 131:2) that he found contentment (see 131:2). So, might you, too, like David did, find stillness, calm, and contentment, even when there are distractions. #BlockThemOut & #RemainFocused

What can trials teach you?
Trials are tests; and you will take a lot them. And, how you take them will determine the outcome. Taking many tests was Joseph. Even after his brothers "plotted to kill him" (Genesis 37:18) and then "sold him" (37:28), along with wrongfully being put in prison (see 39:20), he went on to save the lives of many people, even his own family (see 50:20). Be it one or many tests, might you consider seeking someone who can help you take and pass every one. #GoodnessAlwaysPrevails

How strong is your tower?
No amount of money, relationships or jobs can protect you. Knowing what could were the Thebezian's, as they fled to "a strong tower" (Judges 9:51) while being attacked (see 9:50). So, when looking for a place to go, might you consider the strong tower, for "the righteous run to it and are safe" (Proverbs 18:10 NKJV). #YourStronghold

What blessings do you share?
Blessings surround you, even in unfavorable circumstances. Through Naomi's pain and grief (see Ruth 1:20-21), she was blessed by Boaz and Ruth (see 1:4), with a home and grandson (see 4:10) that would "renew [her] life and sustain [her] in [her] old age" (1:15). So, may you know that blessings still happen, even in tough times, and when they do, may you consider sharing yours with others, just as Boaz and Ruth did for Naomi. #BlessedBeyondMeasure

What can make you think that you are forgotten?
Just because you make poor decisions does not mean you are overlooked or loved any less. Those committing sacrilege and misconduct, in Babylon, grievously said that "The Lord [had] forgotten [them]" (Isaiah 49:14). Because of His great love for the Babylonians, He promised to help and keep them (see 49:8), as He told them, and you too, that He has "engraved them on the palm of his hands" (49:16). So, might you know that "[He] will not forget you!" (49:15). #AlwaysRemembered

How consistent are you?
It can be so easy to become disengaged or complacent, especially when "exposed to insult and persecution" (Hebrews 12:33). Regardless of the "conflict full of suffering" (10:32), you are still encouraged and reminded to "consider how [you] may spur one another on...[by] not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing" (10:24-25). So, no matter the conflict, might you stay the course and remain consistent and steadfast every time. #ConsistencyInEverything
