Meditation-try it

Monday I had a meeting at church for the JHi ministry. At the end of the meeting the JHi pastor wanted us to read Psalm 46 together and in the "interludes", "selahs", or in English terms-breaths, we would stop for 5-10 minutes and meditate... reflecting on the passage, praying, and rereading the passage. We did it 3 times, as there are 3 interludes in this Psalm. I don't really want to talk much about what the passage spoke to me, but I do want to tell you...if you read my previous blog....it was very filling. I think my new goal is to meditate on one Psalm every morning. Before reading the Psalm everyone was all talk and business, after reading the Psalm...the mood totally changed to peaceful and content. It was wonderful and if you have a chance to meditate on the Psalm you should do it right now. Jesus has some powerful words to speak to each of you!

Please comment if you had a chance to do it :).

46:1 To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
46:2 For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;
46:3 Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion.
(Selah.)

46:4 There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
46:5 God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
46:6 The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
46:7 The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

46:8 Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
46:9 He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.
46:10 Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.
46:11 The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

This is good stuff Jordon! Hey, didn't you win American Idol? lol, just kidding :)

I am personally seeking wisdom, so I like to read a Proverb a day to coincide with the day of the month. This way the Proverbs 31 women only comes around every couple of months to make me feel bad!

you lost me at the american idol thing...do i look familiar?

yeah, my friend and her boyfriend were studying a proverb a day and really enjoyed it. i'm babysitting a non-christian family and this same friend recommended reading proverbs and then when they misbehaved showing them what the bible said about it. they are god believers, just not god livers....ya know? so i think ill give it a shot since it's oh so popular :). thanks for the comment sue! i look forward to getting to know you :)!!

I was just messing with you, since a girl named Jordon won this year. Sorry, it's just my goofy sense of humor :)

I totally agree with Sue. I would add Proverbs to the Psalm reading. I too have been seeking God for Wisdom and he directed me over the last 2 1/2 years to read a proverb a day (and center in on a particular wisdom verse each day).

A good way to do this is by the date of the month, IOW, on March 1, you would read Proverbs 1, on March 2, Proverbs 2, etc.

I'm finding out, as I do this alone that it's not as "fun" or "moving" for lack of better words, as it is with 2 or more people. I think that's because when someone else is reading aloud it's easier for the other people to simply focus on the words and not WHAT they're reading. Just thought I'd add that for those interested :). If you haven't done it with another person-seriously try it!
