Meditation!
This devotional was just what I needed as guidance. this week what about a lot of major decisions and the devotional was such a perfect reminder to engage all of myself to listen to what God was saying right in front of my face.
"We meditate to give God's word the opportunity to penetrate, not just our minds, but our emotions- the place where we hurt- and our will- the place where we make choices and decisions."
That entire paragraph on page 8 completely convicted me throughout the week. Everything I stressed myself out about was nothing in comparison to the immense peace I felt after meditating in God's presence. I love Revelation 3:20 "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."
Words to live by, "Stop and listen. Hear the voice and open the door. Meditate."

ReplyDeleteIt's encouraging to hear how this has been touching you. I was thinking of you when I read "We meditate to give God's words the opportunity to penetrate, not just our minds, but our emotions--the place where we hurt--and our will-- the place where we make choices and decisions" and it made me smile to see you put it in your post!! I hope you continue to find peace and strength as you seek to meditate on Him.
