Being Podcast - Monday Meditations | A New Filter
play

08/22/22 • 6 min

Hey There!
Welcome to the Being Podcast. Today's podcast is a Monday Meditation. Monday Meditations will be a second release weekly on Mondays and will feature different focus areas than the Thursday Scripture meditation.
Today we'll be focusing on the fact that you have value. Thomas Merton said "Prayer does not blind us to the world, but it transforms our vision of the world, and makes us see it, all men, and all the history of mankind, in the light of God." Invite God to give you a new filter in the moments of today. Let Him transform your day in His light.

Hello!
Welcome to the Being Podcast. Today we're continuing through Season 3: Prophets! The prophets spoke truth to God's people. In many scenarios this is a hard truth of correction or rebuke, but much of it is a call to identity. While these books are references of a specific message for a specific people, the beauty of scripture is that much of what they are told then are things we need to be reminded of today. Today we'll be exploring Zephaniah 3.
___________________________________________

Thanks for listening!
Zephaniah 3:14-20
"
Sing, O daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
For the Lord will remove his hand of judgment
and will disperse the armies of your enemy.
And the Lord himself, the King of Israel,
will live among you!
At last your troubles will be over,
and you will never again fear disaster.
On that day the announcement to Jerusalem will be,
“Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid!
For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

“I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals;
you will be disgraced no more.
And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you.
I will save the weak and helpless ones;
I will bring together
those who were chased away.
I will give glory and fame to my former exiles,
wherever they have been mocked and shamed.
On that day I will gather you together
and bring you home again.
I will give you a good name, a name of distinction,
among all the nations of the earth,
as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Lamentations 3:22-24

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.

23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”

Being Podcast - New Life | Easter Reading - Easter Sunday
play

04/12/20 • 4 min

Hey There!
This week is Holy Week, the week leading up to Easter Sunday. We're going to be reading through the passages of scripture that tell the story of Easter Thursday through Sunday.
Today is Easter Sunday! Happy Easter. Today marks the day of victory over death, as Jesus resurrected on the 3rd day. We believe this marks God's plan of restoring all that is broken back to Him, through the conquering of death.
These Easter readings are meant to be a time to reflect on the story of New Life through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospels. These would be a great time to gather your family and listen together as a moment after dinner, reflection before bed, or midday break to remind yourself of the story of Easter.

Being Podcast - Psalms | Lectio Divina of Psalm 146
play

02/19/20 • 11 min

Welcome to our journey through the Psalms. Today's Meditation is a Lectio Divina (scripture meditation, see the very first podcast for an explanation of Lectio Divina) of Psalm 146. This passage is a perspective changer. Sometimes we get the wrong perspectives of life, God, or ourselves, and God is calling us to gently shift them, to align them to his view, which is so much better.
Psalm 146

Praise the Lord!
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;
there is no help for you there.
When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.
But joyful are those who have the God of Israel[a] as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever.
He gives justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners.
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
The Lord loves the godly.
The Lord protects the foreigners among us.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

The Lord will reign forever.
He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations.

Praise the Lord!
