Do you ever talk out loud to God during your Bible studies? He is just as real as any one of your besties, so you can talk to Him. Real talk.

You can tell Him things like this: "Lord, Ezekiel is hard reading. Sometimes, I don't even get it."

But keep studying. This is that hard class.

God knew we'd eventually have speedy access to tech tools for Bible study. Don't bash tech tools. We can study faster. That's not a bad thing.

When you are reading a hard book of the Bible, look for the takeaways. They're in there if you really look.

Here's one takeaway from Ezekiel:
It's not good to be a poor listener.
(That's just my take. There's so much more.)

Ezekiel 2:7
"And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious."

Do songs ever pop into your head? These lyrics floated into my mind and became a prayer:

"Give wisdom to choices I make,
along every path that I take.
And when I complete life's race,
well done you will say." *

Wisdom. The "secret sauce" to a beautiful life. Pray for the wisdom to know how to live your numbered days.

Psalm 90:12
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

If you don't have the treasure of a calm and quiet soul, maybe there's too much of you in the way. The apostle Paul told the Thessalonians to "study to be quiet." That means it doesn't come naturally. We can have this, but it will take practice.

"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you..." (1 Thessalonians 4:11)

We cannot know everything that is going on in the background of other people's lives. And people can't see our every private moment, either. Acknowledging that gives us a chance to practice two things: temperance and compassion.

Temperance to keep us from a wrong reaction.

Compassion for someone who may have unspoken pain.

Maybe you did or said something that needs an apology. Check that first, but if you're not at fault, don't create a fault by snapping back at a person who snapped at you without a cause.

If you did nothing wrong, QTIP: Quit Taking It Personally.

It wasn't about you. This is a great opportunity for grace.

Proverbs 30:32-33
"If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife."

Pick someone this week to encourage. Maybe they've just had an incredibly hard life change, or maybe they just looked a bit down the last time you saw them. We don't always have to know the details of what's going on. Being an encourager only requires pausing long enough to care and to show it.

Flowers. A gift card to the nicer grocery store. A gas card. Your awesome home cooking. A bag of fresh produce from your garden. Or maybe just a jar of good honey with a note that says, "Honey, I am thinking of you today." šŸ„°There are so many options.

Go ahead. Pick someone and enjoy the blessing of being a blessing. You have no idea what a difference your kindness will make.

"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering..." (Colossians 3:12)

Go ahead. Drop your filter and say whatever you want, however you want, whenever. Just know that hasty speech brings hasty trouble.

Do you need more trouble?

Proverbs 29:20
šŸ—£ "Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him."
