#36 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, October 26, 2021 This one is very simple and a little strange–it came in the aftermath of a little squabble I had with Karen. I was on our back porch, looking up at my beloved live oak tree and praying. I was beseeching God, recognizing that I need to change in heart and attitude and asking Him to show me what I could do to speed up this transformation. It wasn’t a voice (unless you believe, as I do, that you can hear with your heart as well as your ears), but I got this message: “You have been.” This was tremendously comforting and affirming. I took it to mean that it is indeed a journey and I am, in fact, moving. Praise God!

#37 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, November 4, 2021 We spent $256 at Costco and Karen is having a $5000 dental procedure. God is speaking to me about money–I am to live frugally, but that is it. I don’t need to question expenses, I don’t need to monitor Karen’s spending–i don’t need to use the excuse that i want our children to have more–I don’t need to save in case of long term care. I need to live simply, give generously, and trust that God will provide all that we need. “The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil…” (I Timothy 6:10) I need to renounce that love.

#38 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, October 14, 2021 Whatever the instance, we can decide we want to do something God probably doesn’t want us to do–and we go ahead and do it anyway. Afterward, we can repent and confess our sin and we are truly forgiven. There are no thunderbolts or retributive parries, and whatever karmic dust has been sprinkled is impossible to discern. But there is silence.

#39 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, October 19, 2021 “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” (I Corinthians 6:17) That’s me. I can hardly comprehend it. Because I have committed my life to Jesus, at the very essence of my being (my spirit) I have become one with the Lord. Than means nothing in all of eternity can separate us. As I go deeper and deeper in my journey, I get closer and closer to Him–one day face to face. What wonderful security!

#42 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, October 9, 2021 We went to a wedding tonight. It was an extremely unreligious wedding, only one mention of God that i can recall. But this, like most weddings, was a joyous occasion–Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding! I fully believe God gave His blessing to this couple’s wedding. There’s a very fine line between the sacred and the secular. God wants to teach me how to be “…in the world but not of the world.”
