Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to look at the role of meditation in hearing from God. Meditation for many reasons, seems to have found its way out of our Christian context. But the reality is that meditation has been central to our faith throughout its history. And the Bible is chocked full of encouragement to meditate on who God is, on his word, allowing space for God to fill in our daily lives.
May God reveal his heart for us to meditate as a central discipline of our faith. And may he empower us to make room for his presence in a meaningful way today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 119:15, and today's worship is Remember by Steffany Gretzinger.

There are two things you and I need most: secure connection and unconditional love.
It’s impossible to live with confidence unless we have the sense of self that comes from secure connection with our heavenly Father. And it’s impossible to fully love ourselves and others unless we experience and trust in the unconditional love of the one who gave us life.
We pray our printed devotionals, Closer and Love, help people like you experience the connection and unconditional love available to you in God every morning.
Everything changes when we live from a place of secure connection and unending love. Get your copy at supportfirst15.com!
