You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast to help you find this sacred in

the ordinary.

We have 100 meditation episodes on this podcast, but if you want to listen for free to the

entire library of 500, I encourage you to download the encountering piece mobile app where

all the meditations are free as they should be.

At what age did you become mature?

Well, my wife may argue I haven't reached it yet, but what is the age of accountability

for you?

Was it 13, 16, 18 or 21?

Well everyone is different, and we all behave a little erratically at times, but can we generally

agree that a young child doesn't act as responsibly as a mature adult?

Do you ever find yourself behaving like a child and surrendering to the whim of every

evil desire of your heart?

Well, I pray this guided meditation from 1 Peter 1 will help you learn to live a righteous

life set apart from the world to live a holy life as Christ is holy.

So to begin your meditation, slip into a simple time to feel present, a place to feel centered,

in a moment to be clear in hearing the message of the Holy Father, the Son, and the Holy

Spirit.

So spend a few moments right now, it's closing the doors of your eyes, releasing distraction,

and aiming for God in this holy retreat set apart from the world.

Continue by listening to and replying to this reading from 2 Corinthians chapter 7, and

as I lead us, answer Lord God, guide me to live a holy life.
