#1392 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
January 29, 2025 Doubt and Ephesians 3:16. When I am afflicted with doubt, it isn’t God that I doubt, it’s me. Am I being a hypocrite? Am I just speaking to myself? Am I only doing what I want to do? Who is the real me? So I turn to God and I know He’s got it covered. Listen to St. Paul’s prayer: “…that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..” I believe that is the real me. I just have to keep pressing on.

Golf Tuesday, highway to the danger zone…

March 25, 2025 This was the closest I’ve come to being hit. I’m sitting on the front of the porch and it lands behind me, with a portico overhead. Loudest crash from a golf ball I’ve heard in my life–so glad Karen wasn’t out here! Never saw it until it rolled up against the fence in my yard. I don’t ever worry about being hit. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate irony–my ticket to heaven is a golf ball to the skull?

March 3, 2025 At this stage of my life there is only one sure way I can continue to grow: spiritually. My physical skills are diminishing, and so is my memory. I still learn new things, but it doesn’t stick like it used to. God saved the best for last. Spiritual growth is simply an increasing awareness of the presence of God–I grow as I respond to His presence. Grow me, Lord

March 4, 2025 Think of it–there is no limit there is no peak, there is no real descent. My awareness of the presence of God can only increase, because He is always here. I can just notice it more and more and more. Again, all I have to do is be willing to acknowledge His presence.

Though
Tho’ my will be weakened
Tho’ my faith be torn
Tho’ my skin be hardened
Tho’ my health infirm
Tho’ my days be numbered
Tho’ the world turn dark
Tho’ my head be empty
Tho’ my heart be sick
I will press on
to know my Lord. –Dallin Malmgren

March 28, 2025 “In our darkest moments we don’t need advice.” –Ernest Hemingway This is a tough one for me because I want so badly to help that person get through that dark moment. Sometimes a silent presence is far more powerful than any words I can come up with. And I can always pray. Teach me, Lord, how to truly minister to those I love.

March 6, 2025 sugarcoat — (v.) — make superficially attractive or acceptable. In my mind I sugarcoat my past, and that is not right. In my youth I was selfish and irresponsible–that was hurtful to many of the people around me. Those characteristics don’t die easily. Of course, the Lord rescued me. His message has been consistent ever since: you’re forgiven and do better.
