Day 3: Psalm 77:11-15
“I will call to mind the deeds of the LORD; I will remember your wonders of old. I will meditate on all your work and muse on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God? You are the God who works wonders; you have displayed your might among the peoples. With your strong arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.”
Week 1: Meditate
Isaiah 6:1 says, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple.” As the vision that Isaiah had of God in the Temple begins, Isaiah is still and intently listening to God. Waiting for what God will say to him. We do this in the season of Lent also. We begin by opening our hearts and minds to God and listen for what God will say to us. When we do this, we are meditating. And so, this week we are looking to meditate. Sometimes we meditate by praying to God. Sometimes we just listen for God to speak to us. The important thing is to stop our everyday tasks and spend time in silence.
