Spiritual Practices - Meditation
Adapted from: Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices that Transform Us, (Downers Grove: IVP Books, 2005).
Week of July 4th, 2021
Sometimes we need a reminder of how we grow closer to God. A different way to think about continually being shaped and molded by our Lord. For the next five weeks, we will be inviting you to think of the ways different practices impact your relationship with God. Some may come naturally to you or are things you already do, perhaps take time to thoughtfully consider what they mean to you. Some practices may be new, give them a try and see if they are a fit for this season of your life. Let us bring our hearts and lives before the Lord!
Scripture for the week: Psalm 1
How does Scripture help connect us with God?
What invitation is there in slowing down when you read God’s Word?
Do you give your undivided attention to the Word of God? Why or why not?
Spiritual Practice: Meditation
Take time in God’s Word this week.
When you come to a passage of scripture, mull it over, chew on it and think about its application.
Pay attention to what God is teaching you through his Word.
Think about how Jesus knew, loved, and taught the Scriptures.
Take time to slow down when reading Scripture.
Additional Scriptures to Meditate On:
Psalm 63:6
Joshua 1:8
Psalm 77:12
Psalm 19:14
