Are you expecting God to use words?
No. I'm not expecting anything.
I'm not expecting that either. That would be ridiculous though. Humans communicate with words, not pictures.
Step into the day God has given to you, and what do you see before you?
I see lots of inanimate objects that do not give me instructions. I see other living materials that do not give me instructions. I see some humans that actually do give me instructions. I see no gods. I'm not saying God has given me this day but if He has, there are no strings attached that I have been made aware.
We were given the simple directions to put God or goodness first, and to love all those around you.
Not all of us. I wasn't given those instructions.
Perhaps you are thinking, "I am a decent human being, so I already do that." Great, then you heard God.
Then Christ's words were accurate when he said, "It is finished." Let's close up shop and stop discussing religion.
Then the daily words are, Can goodness be given an even higher priority, and can I love those around me even more?
Yes. I could do those things.
What presents itself to you as you walk through your day?
This is vague and broad. I encounter lots of things. Mostly bad but still lots of good.
How does your spirit want you to respond to these opportunities?
You are going to like my answer and use it as proof that God is speaking to me. My spirit wants to respond with the most intense humility as I can possibly muster. I don't want any negative encounter with another human to phase me or rile me up. I'd love to have the capacity to ignore all negativity directed towards me and just reap benefit after benefit much like a wild bird does. They find feed, they eat it. If another animal scolds them or humiliates them, they fly away, come back later to the same spot, or find food elsewhere. My spirit craves that kind of humility/superiority/strength. You'll like this comment too. The Bible says the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing. My flesh wants to destroy and humiliate those who humiliate me. That's usually what happens. My spirit wants to ignore them.
Perhaps envisioning God sitting down and speaking to you over coffee and donuts is too limiting for God, so he paints you pictures (pictures being worth a thousand word) throughout the entire day.
If so then the complexity of my existence is already orchestrated by God. The outcome is the same. Ignore religious nuts who want to impose thoughts, or actions upon me against my will.
If I would have been raised a Calvinist then I would not have such a negative view of religious people. I really like the idea of believing God is in charge and we have absolutely zero say in the matter. It makes more sense than the garbage I was taught and still encounter.
