Today’s meditation focuses on 2 Corinthians 12:9
“My grace is all you need! My power works best in weakness.” NIV
 
In reading the gospels, Jesus demonstrates a self-emptying, and surrendered posture.
It’s encouraging to know that in following the way of Jesus, we are invited to show up in our weakness.
 
What would self emptying look like for you in this season of your life?
 
May you rest in the full expression of God’s power and grace made perfect in your weakness. 

In this week’s meditation, Jesus addresses the topic of worry. We can’t escape fear and worry in this world. Fear causes us to try and attempt to control our circumstances. This subconsciously leads to not trusting that God is in control. Jesus teaches us to release our fears and trust HIm, and turn from anxious thoughts towards faith.

This week’s meditation looks at revival, both personal and in the Church as a whole. We are in the Lenten Season of the Church, a season set apart for the purpose of returning to God and paying attention to Divine Presence in our lives.
 
Lent is a journey of grace, allowing us to follow the way of Jesus. We are invited to personally bear witness to Christ’s miraculous life of love and transforming presence in our lives. Revival and spiritual renewal is necessary in every generation. And so we return, once again, to the cross. Revive us, Oh Lord.

In the Sermon on the Mount, after Jesus told his followers not to worry, he then instructed them to seek first the Kingdom of God above all else. There seems to be a connection between not worrying and Kingdom living. Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is now. 
It’s a particular level of human consciousness in our every day living and thinking that seeks the way of Christ. 
When is it hardest for you to seek first God’s ways?
What would it look like for you to seek first God’s way of doing things?
Join us for a few minutes of stillness as we meditate upon the words of Jesus and cultivate a Kingdom state of mind.

This week’s meditation continues with the Sermon on the Mount, which is a collection of the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew.
 
Find a quiet space, calm the noise around you and within you, as you listen to these words of Jesus. Consider what penetrates your heart and how you you might be encouraged to respond to this teaching.
