Meditating

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. 'The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."
--Lamentations 3:22-26

Tonight I am meditating on this verse. I'm going to talk about it tomorrow. But tonight, I don't want to fill my head with my own words, my own thoughts. I want to sit, I want to meditate on His word, I want to open my heart and mind to what God has to say.

You should try it. Even if it is only for five or ten minutes, try it.

Tonight, I am meditating on His great love. Tonight, I am seeking His heart and not my own. Tonight, I am letting go my grudges, my petty thoughts, my complaints that keep me from meeting with Him.


Tonight, I am "waiting quietly."

For in the silence, He waits for me to come to Him.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,'"
--Jeremiah 29:11-14a

Oh yes, tomorrow is going to be fun.

Meditating tonight.

Amen
