It's Day 59 and we're in Proverbs 14.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 4 - This struck me as funny for ways you could paraphrase it.
Help:
- Verse 30 - Given the first half of the verse, I think the word the NASB translates "passion" would have to something like being agitated.

60IN60 Day 58 - Tues Jul 1
It's Day 58 and we're in Proverbs 13.
For some reason, the email didn't go out on time yesterday. Remember that even if you don't get the email you can usually still access the day's information at 60in60Bible.org.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Nothing jumped out to me.
Help:
- Remember that the nature of a proverb is that it is a general truth. It is not a promise of something that will be true in every single situation. For instance, when it says to "train up a child in the way he should go and when he gets old he will not depart from it," that's generally true, but it's not saying that there's never been a child who's stayed away. A proverb is a general truth.

60IN60 Day 56 - Sun Jun 29
It's Day 56 and we're in Psalm 22.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 1 - I appreciate the honesty.
Help:
- Verses 6, 12 - This is poetic imagery.

Your Comments:
- "I love reading parts of Samuel and then reading the related Psalms. I just feel like the Psalms complete the stories. Someone, I think Beth Moore in one of her studies I did, correlated exactly when some of the Psalms had been written regarding stories in Samuel. I'll have to see if I can find the book."

60IN60 Day 55 - Sat Jun 28
It's Day 55 and we're in Psalm 18.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 3 - He is worthy to be praised. I've got evidence of that in my life.
Help:
- Verses 7-15 - This is poetic, not literal, language.
- Verses 20-24 - This most likely is intended not to say that he was perfect, but that he was passionately keeping the system that God had laid out at that point. (The Old Testament Mosaic system.)

Questions:
- "Day 52, 1 Samuel 15, I'm somewhat confused when The Word states that God regretted making Saul King over Israel. If he already knew what Saul would do, why would He have named him king to begin with?" - A few thoughts: 1. God doesn't look ahead of time at each of us and only use those who will serve perfectly. We have free will and He allows us to make our choices. 1. Saul was not doomed at the start. He had the potential to be a great king. It was his choices that got him off track. 3. It's not that God didn't know this would happen. It's just that, like a family tragedy you can see coming for years before, it's still heartbreaking to watch it actually unfold.
- "Also, could you explain to me what casting lots meant?" - It's kind of like rolling dice. But they would pray for God to speak through the results.

60IN60 Day 54 - Fri Jun 27
It's Day 54 and we're in Psalm 16.
One thing that can impede God speaking to you is the presence of unconfessed sin in your life. Are you coming to the Word today with a clean heart or are you holding things back from God?
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 11 - I like that phrase: "in Your presence is fullness of joy." I'd like more of that.
