You're listening to Encounter, a daily podcast of sacred and mindful meditations to help

you encounter the divine presence of God throughout your day.

No matter the pounding, the tower is still.

No matter what time passes, it will always remain.

Foundation is stable.

It waves come until, well, forever it seems, reminding us of past pain.

Yet there it abides the lighthouse divine.

To remind us, it will always remain.

No matter a drench of water and brine, it stands as a beacon of God's holy domain.

So to our Father in heavenly realm, abides in us and we in Him forever.

With us in Him, nothing can overwhelm with He and us, nothing whatsoever.

Have you felt lost, tossed on your journey of late, seeking what feels lost, scrambling

for what's been tossed?

This meditation from the 15th chapter of John will help you remember the hope you have

in worshiping a strong tower that never moves, the hope of living and abiding in a home

that will never crumble, worshiping a God that remains.

So to begin your meditation, find a place to be comfortable, alone, quiet, and still.

We will be together for about 15 minutes.

Start by taking a moment to settle and prepare yourself to remain with God in this moment.

Just sit comfortably and quiet.

Begin to relax your gaze and become aware of God, His Spirit, and His Son, remaining

in you and around you.
