God’s Direction in My Life - Parts 1 and 2 by Dr. James Dobson

August 10-11, 2022
Guest: Bob Vernon

Part 1
After Bob Vernon gave his life to Christ at the age of twelve, he aspired to discover God's will for his life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, he shares how the Lord revealed to him that he should not become an Air Force pilot, but a Los Angeles police officer instead. There were no angelic appearances or a thunderous heavenly voice from above. Rather, as Proverbs 19:21 proclaims, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Bob learned that the Lord’s will is made manifest through circumstances.

Part 2
Do you want to know God’s will for your life? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Bob Vernon, a retired assistant chief of the LAPD, points to the well-known passage of Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Using captivating street stories from his time in the police force, Bob outlines the three prerequisites and the promise of the Lord illustrated in those verses.
