Reflection Questions
1. Correction:
How do I respond when I am corrected — with humility or stubbornness?
2. Leadership:
Am I using any position of influence I have to bring justice, peace, and encouragement to others?
3. Trust:
Am I more driven by fear of people's opinions or by trust in what God says?
4. Vision:
What vision or guiding word from God am I holding onto right now to keep my life on course?
5. Self-control:
In heated moments, do I act with wisdom and calmness, or do I react impulsively?
