“What we really want to be, as I said at the opening of the discussion yesterday, is not just to make the right decision but to be the right kind of person. God is more interested in us being the right kind of person than anything else. And if we stay merely at the level of the right kind of decision, we've restricted ourselves to the level of the righteousness of the Scribes and the Pharisees. What we want is the heart of a servant who does far more than they are asked to do because they love their master more. Now in that dimension you see a part of being in the will of God."

The Dallas Willard Podcast 24, "Learning how to recognize the voice of God," minute 54:03

Perhaps one of the dangers of modern discipleship is that we can reduce following Jesus to simply making the “right” choices. We learn the rules, avoid the wrong things, and try our best to get it right. Yet Jesus invites us into something far deeper than a life of moral checkmarks. He wants to transform the person making the choices.

The goal is not merely to ask, “What is the right thing to do?” but, “Who am I becoming as I follow Jesus?”

Am I becoming more loving, more generous, more compassionate, more willing to serve—even when no one is watching and no one is asking?

Paul reminds us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” — Romans 12:2

Notice the order: transformation comes before discernment. Perhaps knowing God’s will is not only about learning to make the right decision, but about becoming the kind of person who increasingly desires what God desires.

When obedience flows from love, we no longer live simply trying to avoid getting it wrong. We begin to live with a heart that wants to please the One we love. The question changes from “What do I have to do?” to “How can I love God well here?”
That is a very different kind of discipleship—and perhaps a much deeper picture of what it means to walk out His will.

Just a thought.

This is communication in it’s perfect form. A respectful question and an equally respectful answer.

Hymns are largely missing from today's contemporary church services, a loss that dims our theological depth and weakens our spiritual resilience. Recently, I visited a small church where hymns are still very much part of worship, even featuring their own denominational hymnal. As I flipped through the pages, it felt like scripture brought to life through melody. Sure, the singing might be off-key and voices few, but it profoundly reminded me that God hears His Word sung by His remnant. These humble, heartfelt hymns surpass even the most polished and rehearsed worship set-especially when those performances may lack genuine reverence and ignore our deepest spiritual need.
In truth, BOTH, sung (even off-key!) with a humble, seeking heart, are like a sweet offering to the ears of our heavenly Father, whether they are sung with a full band, in a bathroom as one gets ready for the day or in a hospital room.

May this set by Brian Doerksen and his Dad bless you today.

Heaven is filled with such marvellous worship as Brian was welcomed home this past week.
Keep his family in prayer.

📖 "Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD! Praise the LORD!" — Psalm 150:6

This morning, as I read the final Psalm, the Holy Spirit reminded me once again how marvellous this book truly is.

The book of Psalms opens with a promise in Psalm 1: those who delight in and meditate on God's Word will be like trees planted by streams of water-steady, fruitful, and enduring.

Then, for 149 chapters, we watch that truth being lived out.
We walk with people through fear, grief, betrayal, disappointment, waiting, injustice, doubt, and some of life's most painful and messy situations. The Psalms don't hide human struggle; they bring it honestly before God.

Yet how does the book end?
Not in despair, but in exuberant praise!
Why?
Because a life rooted in God's Word eventually becomes a life of praise.
The person of Psalm 1 is not someone who never suffers. It is someone who has learned where to go with their suffering.

And here's something else I was reminded of this morning: biblical meditation isn't silent, passive, or merely an exercise in positive thinking.

Just look at the Psalms!😊

Biblical meditation is vocal and expressive . It sings. It prays. It laments. It rejoices. It cries. It declares truth out loud.

After all, you can't exactly add cymbals, tambourines, dancing, and loud clanging instruments and still call it a silent activity! 😂

Perhaps we've made meditation too quiet.

The Hebrew word for meditate (hagah) even carries the idea of muttering, murmuring, or speaking aloud. The Psalms invite us to chew on God's truth until it comes back out of us in prayer, song, lament, thanksgiving, and praise.

Meditation wasn't meant to stop in our minds; it was meant to shape our lives.

So if you're struggling today, don't wait until life is perfect to praise Him. Bring Him your honest prayers. Keep planting yourself by the waters.

The beautiful thing about the Psalms is that they show us the journey: a person planted by God's Word in Psalm 1 eventually becomes a person overflowing with praise in Psalm 150.

Praise may not be your first song today, but it may yet become your final one. ❤️

“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.”
Psalm 143:10 NRSV

"Hearing God. Some would say that’s a presumptuous and even dangerous idea. But should we expect anything else, given the words of Scripture and the heritage of the Christian church?

As Christians, we stand in a millennia-long tradition of humans who have been addressed by God. The ancient Israelites heard the voice of their God speaking to them out of the midst of fire (Deuteronomy 4:33). A regular place of communion and conversational interchange between the high priest and God was established in the mercy seat over the ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:22; 1 Kings 8:11-13).

But the individual with faith among the Israelites also cried out expectantly to be taught by God (Psalm 143:10). Isaiah, who had firsthand experience of conversing with God (Isaiah 6), described the process this way: “Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. . . . The LORD will guide you continually” (Isaiah 58:9, 11 NRSV).

Read Psalm 143:10 aloud and sit in the words for a few minutes. Notice how personal this phrase is: “for you are my God.” Relish that. Then ask God specifically what you need to be taught from his “good spirit.”
