Cultivating habits of the heart...

The Hebrew word for wisdom means “the skill of living life.” That skill is learned by cultivating habits of the heart that heighten our sensitivity to hearing God’s voice, whether His words come to us generally in the form of universal wisdom or specifically in the form of personal revelation

C.S. Lewis once said that our greatest dignity as creatures is not in initiative but in response. God speaks, we hear. He knocks, we open. He sows the seed, we receive it.

God still speaks…

“Be to me a Rock of refuge, to which I may continually come…”

“My praise is continually of You…”

“My mouth is filled with Your praise, and with Your glory all the day…”

“But I will hope continually and will praise You yet more and more…”

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Psalm 32: 8-11 (ESV)

Thanks for all of the friends that have started the “31-Day Adventure”!

I love to think of each new day as a gift…

A gift to slowly unwrap…

A new day to hear His voice…

A new day to simply follow…

Thanks again and please feel free to post a blog or drop me a note. I would love to hear about any fresh, new stories of God at work in your life!

God Still Speaks…

Wow, where does one begin? The topic of God speaking to us is so vast and mysterious much like the universe… Lets begin there. Simply look up on a star filled night and allow your heart to be filled with awe and wonder.

“God, do you still speak? How? Show me…”

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is nRead More...
