#246 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, May 13, 2022 “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” I have never had the courage or confidence to say that aloud and believe it. But I am definitely getting closer.

#247 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, May 21, 2022 This from my quiet time: “Those who dance are thought mad by those who can’t hear the music” — that old adage is certainly true of those who walk to the beat of God’s drum. When you take your cues from the Holy Spirit, you’ll do some things that will make people think you’re crazy. So be it. Obey the whisper and see what God does. –from Whisper by Mark Batterson

#248 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, May 5, 2022 I love it when I recognize God’s hand at work in the little details of my life. For example, I showed my family doctor a little blemish–I told him I had a dermatology appointment in a month–he told me to move it up if I could–derm guy had a cancellation the next day–he froze it off and said it’s nothing to worry about. Second example: I had a busy schedule of random things fall together perfectly today. Many people would say I just got lucky. But remember the verse: “In Him we live and move and have our being.” There isn’t a detail He is not involved in. You can only understand His will by accepting it.

#249 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, May 15, 2022 “…forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…” God is opening my eyes about forgiveness. I think of forgiveness in the past tense: Yeah, I had some major screw-ups back then, and I know God has forgiven me, and I hope I didn’t damage anyone too badly. And: Yeah, a few bad people did me wrong, but I survived, no hard feelings. But Jesus’ prayer is for the present. My screw-ups (and there are many) are forgiven…I can go forward knowing that. But, “…those who trespass against…” –says a harsh word to me, neglects a perceived need, zigs when I wanted zag–that responsibility to forgive rests entirely on my shoulders. Lord, give me the grace to live in a state of forgiveness.

#250 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, June 28, 2022 I watched two large turtles doing it in the water today. It was a crazy sight. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that God has a sense of humor is not paying attention.

Friday, June 16, 2022 “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled faces, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (II Corinthians 3:17–18). I want to examine my own spiritual effort. God just wants me to look at Him. He will take care of my transformation.

#252 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, June 10, 2022 Faith transcends mood and it transcends feelings. Today I am emotionally flat and tired. And yet He is still present and still directing my life. Gratitude is a sure step toward joy.
