Give it everything!

Elllllow!

                So not much to talk about this week. The section I guess didn’t quit stick out to me.

I really like the quote, “Noise, hurry and crowds are the antithesis of green pastures and quiet waters.” When I read quiet waters I of course made the connection of early mornings out on the water before campers get up having quite time with god (Operation: Meditation).

I also really liked the last line, “Stop and Listen. Hear the voice and open the door.” Too often I know in my day I am always in a rush and don’t take a break. A short time just to see the bigger picture in things and talk with god is definitely something I am working on. That goes with saying a prayer here and there, throughout the day when you see or hear something in which you should pray for (the things add up).

And lastly, I like the comparison between Christian meditation and other acts of meditation within this passage. “Christian meditation has nothing to do with emptying our minds; it engages every part of us.” I know in my life maybe when praying in big groups I can zone out and have nothing on my mind. But this goes to show we aren’t accepting and challenging ourselves to live out life to try and seek what god is telling us. It takes all our power in communicating and trying to figuring out what he wants. Showing our full attention for our God only seems logical and righteous, not this 50 – 50 stuff. (All out!)
