Summary
Today we continue meditating on Isaiah 60:1 and 61:3 with the movement of Noticing.
As you listen today, simply notice what word or phrase draws your attention.
Notice what stirs within you.
Notice where you may be longing for renewal, hope, or new life.
God is always moving gently toward us.
May this time help you become more awake to His presence and the quiet ways He is making all things new.
The Daily Still is written and hosted by spiritual director, Cindy L. Helton. Production and music by SoundGood Media.
