What questions do you have?
Many have questions, but are too afraid to ask them for fear of being made to feel less than or embarrassed. But, when you are not sure or don’t know the answers to your questions, asking them is necessary. Knowing everything, the Lord still asked a lot of questions. One of them was asking Andrew “What do you want?” (John 1:38). So, if you have questions and need answers, might you consider seeking and asking Him, for He will answer everyone of them. #AskAway

What sets you apart?
Too many would rather conform, be like everyone else or just blend in, instead of thinking for themselves and saying and doing what is right. So, instead of going along with, hiding from or accommodating others, you are urged to be a "living sacrifice" (Romans 12:1) and "not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (12:2); and when you do, you will have the confidence, courage, strength, stamina and perseverance, just like He does, to do so. #SeparateYourselfFromthePack & #ShineBright

To whom do you listen to?
Many are too proud or simple to heed sound advice. Fortunately, Judah was not, as he listened to Jeremiah, a real prophet, whom "God spoke" through (Hebrews 1:1), by bowing to the king of Babylon and serving him so that he may live (see Jeremiah 27:12), as opposed to listening to Hananiah, a false prophet, telling him to do just the opposite (see 28:2-4, 10). So, when in need of advice, might you be very careful and cautious to whom you listen to, just like Judah did, as your life might depend on it. For Judah had prophets; and you, now, have "his Son" (Hebrews 1:2). #HumbleYourself & #BeSmart

Why worry?
Many carry and hold on to their struggles and disappointments with worry; and in time, those unnecessary worries begin to take a toll on one's well-being and lifestyle. Therefore, if you want to free yourself of worry, might you choose to "be still, and know that [He is] God" (Psalm 46:10). For when you trust in Him, your worries become his burden, and he will take care of everyone of them. #LetItGo & #GiveItToGod

How willing are you to extend a hand and help?
A willing and helping hand is hard to come by; but there are those few who are always willing to help. Part of the few was Zarephath (see Kings 17:19-24) and Abraham (see Genesis 18:1-15), as they opened their homes to foreigners; and because of their gracious hospitality, the Lord blessed each of them. So, if you happen to see a widow, orphan, foreigner (see Deuteronomy 10:18) or anyone in need, might you, like the Lord, be empathetic and extend a helping hand. #HelpOthers & #BeBlessed

Why be still?
To be still is to pause and remove yourself from any noise and distraction so that you can see, hear, think and reflect; and if or when you do, much is exposed, revealing gaps, holes and needs. In those quiet and bare moments is the Lord wanting to help and strengthen you. For when you are still and "wait patiently for him" (Psalm 37:7), He will guide you. So, whenever you need clarity and/or direction, might you consider going somewhere quiet to "be still" (37:7) and "pray to your Father" (Matthew 6:6). #GainClarity #Wisdom & #Strength

How wise are you?
Many forms of wisdom exist; and in the Bible, there are two, an "earthly" and a "heavenly" one. Earthly wisdom is "unspiritual, demonic", one of "selfish ambition" (James 3:15-16); and "heavenly" wisdom, which "is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere" (3:17). So, as you experience wisdom, in its various expressions, might you consider the one that reveals itself by living a "good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom" (3:13). #HeavenlyWisdom

What promises do you make and keep?
To make a promise is to give your word and keep it; and doing so was the Lord to Mary, as she accepted the request to be “the handmaid of the Lord” (Luke 1:38), because she “believed that [He] would fulfill his promises to her” (1:45). So, the next time you make a promise to someone, might you do as the Lord did and keep it. #FulfillYourVows❤️

How well do you control what you say?
"The mouth speaks what the heart is full of" (Luke 6:45), as "no human being can tame the tongue" (James 3:8). Therefore, if your heart has been hurt or hardened, might you ask Him for help to change and grow it in to "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23). For when you do, your words will reflect what is kind and good, and, hopefully, prompt others to do the same. #HeartfulWords

What direction are you being led towards?
One's path and direction can change in an instant. Such paths changed for four fishermen. For Peter and Andrew, "at once"..."left their nets" (Matthew 4:20), as did James and John, "immediately" (4:22), "and followed him" (4:20) to fish for people. So, whatever direction you are being led towards, may it be one that is worthwhile, fulfilling and bountiful. #SeizeIt #Go & #MakeYourMark
