about

Psalm 46 and Matthew 6 set the stage for a short basis for a meditation. This type of directive can be used personally in study and prayer, with a cell, or at a public worship time. We added some electric piano for color and to help keep you centered during the pauses in the speaker’s voice.

lyrics

“Be still and know that I am God.”
Take three deep breaths.
Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you do not worry about you life; what you will eat, nor your body, what you will wear. Consider the sparrows. They neither sow nor reap. They have neither storehouse nor barn and yet God feeds them.
Do you live in a context of scarcity or abundance?
Do you live in a context in which you feel as though you have to hold so tightly to the things you have—to people, to money, to an identity, to time?
What is it, today that you believe you cannot live without?
Do you operate out of preserving as many resources - tangible or intangible - for yourself because you are afraid that if you loosen your grip you will be left with nothing?
Can you imagine an alternative reality in which there is enough?
A reality in which by letting go you open yourself up to a different type of fullness, a different way of experiencing the plenty?
A reality in which by taking only what you need allows everyone to have enough.
A reality in which giving away what you hold valuable frees you from an enslavement to it?
Consider a new posture:
Imagine yourself with your hands before you, open.
What are you afraid of losing?
Can you imagine a reality in which there is enough?
Keep your hands open
Keep your hands open
“Be still and know that I am God.”
