#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!

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.

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.

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!

Mon­day, Novem­ber 22, 2021 Today God said: Devel­op­ing char­ac­ter is more impor­tant than win­ning or los­ing. I said: But God, I want to win. Win­ning is fun. God said: Devel­op­ing char­ac­ter is more impor­tant than win­ning. Amen.

Sat­ur­day, August 21, 2021 Three grand­daugh­ters spend­ing the night can blot out even the voice of God…but He and I don’t mind.

#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.”
