This Day’s Thought-Tuesday


This Day's Thought

I realized Christians have been practicing a form of meditation for centuries.  It’s called contemplative prayer, sitting quietly in God’s presence rather than coming to him with a laundry list of requests.  I tried it.  It felt strange at first.  A bit boring and frustrating.  Thoughts and fears clamored noisily as I sat.  The more I did it, the more the clamor fell away and I felt myself surrounded by something I had never experienced before.  A loving present larger than my fretful mind.  Larger than my pain.  Larger than everything.

Jonathan Merritt


This Day's Verse

I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

Genesis 32:10
The Revised Standard Version
