Those who “throw shade” express their contempt or disapproval of you by making snide remarks, saying mean-spirited things, and being condescending. Oftentimes, they seem boisterous, confident and unafraid to speak their mind. Here’s what they don’t want you to know.

While life’s road can be rocky, and your to-do list can be quite intimidating, it will be much easier to rise to the occasion day by day if you have the right mentality. And what better way to develop a winning mindset than reading the word of God?

When the prophet Habakkuk was struggling to sort through his feelings about why God allowed suffering to continue, the Lord told Him to write down his questions and God’s answers (Habakkuk 1).
