60IN60 Day 35 - Sun Dec 6
It's Day 35 and we're in Luke 11.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 9 - Got a problem? Keep asking.
Help:
- Verse 19 - His argument is basically: if I'm doing great miracles and you say it's by Satan's power, then by what power do your sons do their little miracles?
- Verses 49-50 - The idea here is that they have all the warnings of the past examples. They are more guilty because they have so many warnings.

60IN60 Day 34 - Sat Dec 5
It's Day 34 and we're in Luke 10.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 21 - Their success made Him "rejoice greatly." Our obedience and fruitfulness presumably does the same thing.
Help:
- Verse 4 - The idea here was that they were to be dependent on the Father's moment by moment provision. As for not greeting: their mission was urgent and they need to get to the towns to preach to large crowds.
- Verse 7 - They weren't to look for "better deals" on where to stay.
- Verse 18 - The meaning of this is not certain. It may have been that Satan was in heaven complaining to God about what Jesus was doing and God gave no ground, so Satan came back to earth ("fell to earth") defeated.
- Verse 19 - This is not a general truth. This was true for them at that time as part of that mission. "Don't try this at home!" ;-)

60IN60 Day 33 - Fri Dec 4
It's Day 33 and we're in Luke 9.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 25 - One of my life verses.
Help:
- Verse 3 - They were to be dependent on God's ongoing provision.
- Verse 4 - This has to do with their lodging. They weren't to move from house to house when they got offered a "better deal."
- Verse 23 - This means that I need to be willing to make sacrifices for the Kingdom.
- Verse 24 - This means I need to put aside my desires and pursue what Jesus is calling me to, believing that is the path to real life.
- Verse 27 - This presumably means the advent of the church at the start of the book of Acts.
- Verse 59 - The best explanation of this is that the man's father was not dead at that moment, but rather that he was asking permission to wait until his ailing father passed away and the funeral was completed.

60IN60 Day 31 - Wed Dec 2
It's Day 31 and we're in Proverbs 11.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 22 - Isn't that true? There's a woman who looks beautiful when you first see her but then as you talk to her and see her personality and character, you're repulsed. Internal beauty is more important than external.
Help:
- Verse 13 - Concealing a matter means not gossiping, not withholding crucial information in a situation like someone being abused.
- Verse 31 - Presumably the "reward" in mind here includes positive and negative.

60IN60 Day 30 - Tues Dec 1
It's Day 30 and we're in Proverbs 10.
We'll be in Proverbs for three days. A reminder of what a proverb is: it's a saying that is generally true. For instance, in the Proverb that says that if you train up a child in the way of the Lord, when he is old he will not depart from it - that is not a ironclad guarantee that every single child that was raised in church will come back to church. Rather it is a proverb - it is generally true that children who are raised in church will come back to the Lord.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 19 - A reminder that I should be quicker to listen than talk.
Help:
- Verse 22 - This is the idea that ultimately every blessing comes from God, including wealth.
