March­ing Order Mon­day (in which I share cer­tain con­cepts God seems to be empha­siz­ing in my dai­ly walk)
#442 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sun­day, Octo­ber 29, 2022 I found this cool, beat-up license-plate-style sign in a thrift store. All it said was: SIMPLIFY. I hung it up on my back porch, just above where I sit and look out on the golf course. Now I realize–it’s a March­ing Order! *Simplify–do bet­ter with what’s in front of me. Trust God for what’s not.

This is sort of about golf…
#443 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tues­day, Decem­ber 19, 2022 Every so often, the wormy side of me will try to come out. That’s the one who is look­ing for the small gain, the lit­tle advan­tage, the lighter load. I don’t like it when that hap­pens. For exam­ple, I’ve found myself tak­ing my time unload­ing my golf clubs after a round so some­one else will buy the pitch­er. I don’t want to be that guy. I am ask­ing the Lord for heal­ing and the Holy Spir­it for vigilance.

#444 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Mon­day, Octo­ber 17, 2022 I strug­gle with the idea of lega­cy. I know that I want to leave some­thing behind when I go, some­thing that is good and inspiring–something that lifts peo­ple up. I used to think that meant some­thing tangible–a work of art, an accom­plish­ment (some­thing I wrote, in my case). I now real­ize I live my true lega­cy by car­ing for oth­ers. What hap­pens right in front of me impacts every­thing I am or become or cre­ate. The ego seeks accolades–the soul goes much deep­er than that.

#445 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sun­day, Decem­ber 4, 2022 Some­times I feel like I’m sprint­ing ahead of the Lord, and some­times He’s drag­ging me along, mut­ter­ing under­neath His breath. Of course, both of these sce­nar­ios are of my own mak­ing. I want to smack my fore­head, remind­ing myself I can nev­er accu­rate­ly mea­sure spir­i­tu­al progress. Trav­el­ing with the Lord is step by step, not sign­post to signpost.

#446 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sun­day, Novem­ber 27, 2022 I often for­get that one of the roles Jesus plays in my life is heal­er. I don’t have much actu­al ill­ness late­ly, so I am focused on His inner heal­ing, which starts way deep inside and wants to grow brighter as much as I will allow. His light is heal­ing me (trust me, I need a lot of heal­ing). So, by His grace, I want to open up my soul, my emo­tions, my thoughts, my per­cep­tions, my psy­che, my dreams, my time, my activities–everything about me–to His healing…or in some cas­es, housecleaning.

#447 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Fri­day, Decem­ber 9, 2022 God has shown me that the secret to friend­ship is to keep mak­ing friends. Adding a new friend in no way dimin­ish­es the rela­tion­ships I already have. The new friend­ship should actu­al­ly enhance the ones that I have. When I think of how I should devel­op (all of) my rela­tion­ships, I Corinthi­ans 13:4–7 (how to love) and Gala­tians 5:22–23 (the fruit of the Spir­it) come to mind as a good place to start. If we are sup­posed to be learn­ing to love, where bet­ter to prac­tice than in our friendships?

#448 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Mon­day, Decem­ber 26, 2022 This is how God spoke to Cather­ine of Siena, a saint in the Catholic church: “My mer­cy is greater with­out any com­par­i­son than all the sins which could be com­mit­ted.” Med­i­tate on that before you go to bed, and sleep well.
