Meditating

Last night at Core we talked about meditating as a spiritual discipline. Jesus often took the time to retreat on a mountain to pray. After feeding five thousand, he "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" (John 6:15). He knew the value of that time alone with God.

Rather than simply talk about it, we took 15 minutes to do some meditating on our own. Jason had us think about 2 questions: (1) What areas in your life are you feeling discontent? and (2) What do you do about it? Echoing the thoughts of others, I found it refreshing to sit and write my thoughts. I can only imagine how stoked God was to have that time with us.

I'd like to jot down a small list of questions that you can take with you the next time you sit down and meditate. Check them out...

• What do you think about God?
• What does God think about you?
• What are your dreams?
• When have you felt fully alive?
• What dazzles you?

Run with those :)
