Day 2: Psalm 1:1-3
“Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path that sinners tread or sit in the seat of scoffers, but their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, they meditate day and night. They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.”
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.
