How do you find delight in words written thousands of years ago? This past Sunday, we were challenged from Psalm 1 to avoid giving into the way of darkness by following God’s way of light. And the author of Psalm 1 writes that we can stay on God’s path by delighting in God through his word that he has revealed to us in Scripture and most fully in the life of Jesus. And to delight in God, we have to meditate on God’s word. Watch/listen to this story to get a mental image of what it’s like to meditate on God’s word…
Meditating on God’s word goes against the instant-paced, 21st century world that we’re shaped to live into each and every day. Meditating on God’s word is not just about downloading more information into our minds. Meditating on God’s word is about savoring it; it’s about sitting with the beauty of God’s life and character, and reflecting how that shapes our interaction with God as loving creator and us as his beloved creation.
Below you will find other CCC updates and resources for participating in the body of Christ over the coming weeks.
See you Sunday if not before then!
This Sunday, we will continue the series of messages on Living in Darkness, living as a follower of Jesus in a world of darkness. This Sunday we will look at Psalm 3, and how the Israelite king, David dealt with the darkness during a difficult time in his. May God guide us as we reflect on Psalm 3, helping us realize our need to be close to Him. Let God's Spirit and Jesus' example inspire us to make choices that bring a full and meaningful life in God's family and kingdom.
