Crocs and fuzzy socks? Red flag. Shorts in the pouring rain? Red flag. Interrupts every five seconds? Red flag. How do you recognize a red flag? Sometimes when we're in a situation that doesn't feel right, we can't seem to point out what exactly got us there, but we just know a misstep happened along the way. Avoiding red flags altogether is impossible, but we have the power to recognize them and choose what to do with them.

God gives us wisdom and discernment to judge these situations for ourselves. Without that guidance, life would be chaos. It would be impossible to navigate life without wisdom. But God is peaceful, kind, and loving — the Bible says we should chase those things. If a red flag pops up, it might be because it doesn't line up with what God has asked us to pursue.

What are some ways you're able to recognize red flags for yourself? How do you think God would have you face those situations?
