#675 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April, 2023 “But the goal of our instruc­tion is love from a pure heart and a good con­science and a sin­cere faith.” (I Tim­o­thy 1:5). Paul states the goal–same as Jesus said when asked the great­est com­mand­ment. How do I strive for the goal? Paul’s for­mu­la: 1) a pure heart–only God can puri­fy my heart, but I have to be will­ing to let go of envies and irri­ta­tions and self­ish desires. 2) a good conscience–I dark­en my con­science when I make wrong choic­es; I cleanse it by doing what is right. 3) a sin­cere faith–the most impor­tant choice of all; yes, Lord, I believe You will guide me, You will enable me, You will bless me.

June, 2023 Sum­mer heat is ener­vat­ing, espe­cial­ly in Texas. Some of the guys were look­ing pret­ty flagged when they came in after 18 holes today. Of course, we have to be care­ful (I’ve had a few bouts of light­head­ed­ness myself), yet I’m remind­ed of God’s march­ing order regard­ing senior phys­i­cal fit­ness: You got­ta keep movin’ or you’ll be left behind. (Hmmm…has a spir­i­tu­al appli­ca­tion as well, does­n’t it?)

June, 2023 This I have learned: What­ev­er the sit­u­a­tion, what­ev­er my state of mind, what­ev­er the exten­u­at­ing circumstances–Jesus is my rock. When I know I need safe har­bor, I turn to Him. It will eter­nal­ly mys­ti­fy me how so many peo­ple man­age to nav­i­gate their lives with­out an aware­ness of His presence.

Feb­ru­ary, 2023 A con­fes­sion: I am ask­ing God to expand the audi­ence for my writ­ing project. So far I’ve been leav­ing the audi­ence part up to Him, oth­er than reach­ing out to peo­ple I know and love and post­ing on Face­book. Hon­est­ly, I’m not exact­ly light­ing up the inter­net. I do believe that God is speak­ing to me, and that the mes­sage is inspir­ing. Because writ­ing is such an indi­vid­ual endeav­or, it has always been dif­fi­cult to keep my ego out of it. I hope that my writ­ing pleas­es Him and helps advance His kingdom.

Feb­ru­ary, 2023 “..since we are sur­round­ed by so great a cloud of wit­ness­es…” (Hebrews 12:1) I have this ten­den­cy to think my jour­ney is unique–no one’s is like mine. That is very true, when I see the jour­ney as from with­in and with­out. But unnu­mer­able have made this jour­ney before, unnu­mer­able are mak­ing it now, and unnu­mer­able will make it when I am no longer on this plan­et. Wow. Hum­bled and blessed…

May, 2023 It is hard not to wor­ry about what peo­ple think (or say) about me. But it is vital. This verse has always made me do a dou­ble-take: “Jesus did not trust Him­self to them (a group of men) because He knew what was in the hearts of men.” (John 2:24) It does­n’t mean He did­n’t lis­ten or enjoy or care about what they said. He nev­er allowed any­thing that any­body said cause Him to waver about His pur­pos­es. Being hurt or angry is an ego response.

Fam­i­ly Sun­day in Frisco, TX…

June, 2023 Swim­ming is an extreme­ly plea­sur­able expe­ri­ence as long as one is not afraid of water. All three of my chil­dren have raised their kids to be com­fort­able in water. Jesus offered to give the Samar­i­tan woman liv­ing water–perhaps the swim­ming expe­ri­ence is meant to mir­ror that.
