“God finds ways to communicate with those who truly seek Him,” Christian author Philip Yancey wrote, “especially when we lower the volume of the surrounding static.”
“When you come aside from temporal things which distract and harass you, and there in the presence of God you put your mind on the things of God, His majesty & glory, then the transforming power of God begins to work.”
Can God Speak to Us?
God is by definition the omnipotent creator of the universe, the source of our being. It’s nonsense to say that this omnipotent being could exist without being able to communicate with His own creatures!—That “nobody can know” whether he’s real or not.
He can, He did, and He does. He’s not a divine deaf-mute. He does speak to us, and just as wonderfully, He listens to us—maybe a bit more keenly than we listen to Him, judging by the state of the world.
Time to Launch
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. —André Gide (1869–1951)
Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made, nothing happens. Decision is the courageous facing of issues, knowing that if they are not faced, problems will remain forever unanswered. —Wilferd Peterson (1900–1995)
A Lesson from Geese
Like geese… … people who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier than those who try to go it alone.
If people had as much sense as geese, they would realize that ultimately their success depends on working as a team, taking turns doing the hard tasks, and sharing leadership.
11 Tips on Adopting the Simple Life
Be content with less. Money doesn’t bring happiness, so rather than fretting about what you don’t have, reflect on all that you do have, and be grateful.
Focus on the priorities. What are the most important things in life? When you’re focused on the real priorities, material goods don’t matter as much. Spend more time investing in your relationship with the Lord, your family and others, and worry less about how much money you have.
