#239 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, May 12, 2022 Please tell me if you are the person who recommended I read Whisper: How to Hear the Voice of God by Mark Batterson. Listen to this: “Let me make a bold statement at the beginning of this book. Learning to hear the voice of God is the solution to a thousand problems! It’s also the key to discovering our destiny and fulfilling our potential.
His voice is love.
His voice is power.
His voice is healing.
His voice is wisdom.
His voice is joy.”
I couldn’t agree more.

Ah, golf…
#240 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, June 15, 2022 I just completed my second overnight golf trip with a group of senior men. The world sees it as a bunch of old geezers getting away for some fun (not entirely inaccurate). God sees it as old souls nearing the end of their lives reflecting on the goodness and wonder of the journey He has given them.

Sunday, May 1, 2022 Do it now. That is what the Holy Spirit says to me whenever those little material plane chores–like emptying the dishwasher, walking the dog, taking out the trash–pop into my head. I have an inclination toward lethargy. I can call it contemplation–or chilling–but it is usually just lethargy. It is so much easier to relax when I have done what I should do. Guide me, Holy Spirit.

#242 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, February 9, 2022 “That’s just the way I am.” Those are the most deadening words the human spirit can hear. I have a close friend who is trapped in his bad habits and they are slowly killing him. He knows this–he doesn’t want to die–but he is stuck. Unfortunately, he doesn’t believe in God.
Afterword: My friend passed away on June 14.

#243 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, May 17, 2022 God is showing me, over and over, that human beings, left to their own resources, have not got a clue. As I watch the news, that is overwhelmingly obvious. As I observe those around me, it is clear that reliance on self is the highway to disaster. There has got to be a link between creature and creator. We did not make ourselves. And if you’re not willing to acknowledge your creatureness, you haven’t even discovered the pathway.

#244 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, June 2, 2022 Remember “full-hearted”? Tonight Karen and I fixed dinner and all my family came in to fix plates, first for the children and then for themselves, and I sat alone on my son’s back porch (ah, back porches!). But not alone. The sky was so blue, and the earth was verdant, and the pine trees towered above me, and the thought was so clear it could have been His actual voice: “This is My gift to you because I love you.” My heart was full.

#245 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, May 22, 2022 God is present, right here right now. A.W. Tozer has a wonderful way of describing His proximity: God is above, but He’s not pushed up. He’s beneath, but He’s not pressed down. He’s outside, but He’s not excluded. He’s inside, but He’s not confined. God is above all things presiding, beneath all things sustaining, outside all things embracing, and inside all things filling.”
