You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast to help you find the secret in

the ordinary.

We have 100 meditation episodes on this podcast, but we're excited to announce the launch

of the Encountering Peace Mobile App, where you can hear the entire library of more

than 500 seasonal and topical meditations.

I encourage you to download the Encountering Peace Mobile App today, where all of the meditations

are free, as they should be.

If you're as old as I am, you may remember this sound.

Logging into the worldwide web, using your home phone through a dial-up modem.

The browsing speeds we have now were unimaginable just a few years ago.

It took forever just to get an email, but now you can download a movie onto your phone

in just a few minutes.

But even with the speed and mobility we have, it's still so easy to become impatient.

We want what we want faster and easier than we did even the day before.

So do you ever struggle with slowing down and seeing the extended play?

Is it hard for you to lift your eyes from the immediate to appreciate the forever horizon?

Well I pray the theme of this meditation from Daniel chapter 12 will offer you much encouragement

to slow down and become more far-sighted, finding peace in the consistency of forever.

We will be together for about 15 minutes, so begin your meditation by softly closing your eyes

and slip into a time and a space where you can feel real, honest and truthful,

and consent to surrender this time to the hope of God, the expectation of the Holy Spirit,

and the promise of the Son.
