A little reminder from James 1:22 - "Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says!"
Where God Spoke To Me:

60IN60 Day 58 - Tues Aug 29
It's Day 58 and we're in Psalm 2.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 12 - We don't like to think of the wrath of God, but the Bible is clear that wrath is part of His justice.
Help:
- Verses 4-6 - The idea of the Lord laughing here has to do with Him laughing at how they think they can overcome Him.
- Verse 9 - The idea here is that Jesus will someday rule over those who oppose Him and in that moment He will shatter their resistance and judge them.
- Verse 12 - The evil of sin demands that God be wrathful. What kind of God would He be if He looked at the evil in the world and was not bothered by it?

60IN60 Day 57 - Mon Aug 28
It's Day 57 and we're in Psalm 1.
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 3 - I love that image of strength and solidness.

60IN60 Day 55 - Sat Aug 26
It's Day 55 and I just realized I made a mistake!
Luke 23 was accidentally listed as the reading for Day 54 and Day 55. Take this as a lesson on the fallibility of your Bible reading leader.
I guess that makes this a free day - read whatever you want. Need a suggestion? How about John 15, one of my favorites. There is a link below for it.

60IN60 Day 54 - Fri Aug 25
It's Day 54 and we're in Luke 23.
One problem that regularly bothers me as I read is a wandering mind. A word in the text will make me think of something that I have to do that day and my mind is off to the races, leaving the Bible behind. I've found it helpful to have something near me that I can make a note on when that happens so I can write down that thing I need to do later and get back to concentrating on the reading in front of me.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 56 - It had to be difficult for them to obey the command to rest on the Sabbath when they wanted to go and finish the burial work. Yet it was (a big) part of the plan. Too often we want to go outside God's commands to "help" God get His work done.
