Lunch: Word of God Speak

Listen...

I have to keep reminding myself that "meeting with God" is more than me talking — more than me reciting a list of requests. It's true that we want to offer up our prayers and petitions for Adam's healing. But, to get in the presence of God, and to have a relationship with Him, requires more than talking. We must listen, too.

The last thing I need

is to be heard

But to hear

What you would say

Meditate...

Let's all take some tme during our "lunch hour" to simply meditate on God, and listen for Him. You might begin your time of meditation with one request — that God would speak to you during your time of meditation.

Rick Warren, in The Purpose Driven Life, describes meditation this way:

"Meditation is focused thinking. It takes serious effort. You select a verse and reflect on it over and over in your mind...if you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate." Warren goes on to say, "No other habit can do more to transform your life and make you more like Jesus than daily reflection on Scripture…If you look up all the times God speaks about meditation in the Bible, you will amazed at the benefits He has promised to those who take the time to reflect on His Word throughout the day."

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
