Scripture for Meditation
ESV
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal
gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled
in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the
righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new
covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than
the blood of Abel.
NKJV
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are
registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of
just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new
covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things
than that of Abel.
Meditation on Scripture:
As we learn to school our actions and responses, and as we learn to love, we come to understand our relationship with God better. In the Old Testament we see the way Moses approaches God in fear. Although we shouldn’t minimize the grandeur of God, scripture us full of times when God commands people to not fear as they approach.
We are offered a mountain of Joy not one of fear. We are surrounded by an innumerable community of heavenly beings. We don’t see them and many times don’t see the impact but God commands legions of beings full of love. This is the Lingdom of God. Not to fear Gods wrath but to rejoice in Gods power and direction and the miraculous gift he has given with the new covenant through Jesus Christ.
How lucky for us that God is both our judge but also our
mediator before the effects of Sin.
The spilling of Christs blood cleanses us from the effects of the
most horrible failings of humanity. Each breath we draw can be
ingratitude of our all powerful and loving God. Praise be to
God.
Meditation of Prayer:
Pray as directed by the Spirit.
Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.
Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm:
I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
