Day 3: Nourish My Soul
Feed your soul with profound ideas about God.
Wisdom from Brother Lawrence
We should ground ourselves in the awareness of God's presence by continuously engaging with Him. It's disgraceful to leave His conversation to focus on insignificant and foolish things.
We should feed and nourish our souls with profound ideas about God; this will bring us great joy in dedicating ourselves to Him.
We should invigorate—that is, bring life to—our faith. Regrettably, we have so little faith; and instead of making faith the guiding principle of our lives, we distract ourselves with superficial devotions that change from day to day.
Scripture
Psalm 27:4
I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the LORD and seeking him in his temple.
