LISTEN IN: Miss the Sunday teaching conversation? Listen in HERE.
TRY IT: Deepen your connection with God by stopping to dwell on who He is, what He’s said and how He’s moving in your life.
1. Reflect on God’s creation. Get out in nature this week. Take a walk through a park and notice the fall leaves, the cool air, the sound of the birds, etc. What does the art tell you about the Artist? Pay attention to the goodness you see in your everyday life- the kindness of a stranger, the bond between a parent and child, the taste of good food. What do these things teach you about their Maker?
2. Dwell on one word, verse or story in scripture. As you read the Bible, pay attention to something that speaks strongly to you- or that you don’t really understand. Instead of moving on to other passages, think, read and talk to God about this one.
3. Start keeping a journal. Record your questions, thoughts, prayers, experiences and learnings.
4. Review each day or week with God. Carve out some time to reflect on these questions to help you better understand and celebrate your journey with God:
· What am I most grateful for in the past day/week? What am I least grateful for?
· When did I feel most connected to God in the past day/week? When did I feel least connected?
5. Find a simple physical object that will prompt you to think about God throughout your day. Any time you see or touch it, let your thoughts go towards God and remember that He is thinking of you more times than you can count today.
