Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.

Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving jor anything tensing or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate.

Scripture for Meditation

Luke 7

ESV Luke 7  31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;     we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.”

NET 31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance; we wailed in mourning, yet you did not weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

Meditation on Scripture:

Among the great battlefronts of our generation, I believe that the enemy has a distinct goal of disrupting the family. Mothers and Fathers who raise their children in love of God directly conflicts with Satan’s plans. Our current culture is seemingly designed to erode the strength of that family. Many things which are meant to be sacred our culture holds up as obvious desires of the flesh that must be indulge and event flaunted. The sacred role mothers and fathers fill in a righteous family represent a Godly influence in the child’s life. In past years I have done episodes on Mothers day and as I was pondering this scripture there is a deep divide on the expectations on Godly men. 

The temptations of this current generation are so much more complex and profound than have every been in the history of the world. Kings of the past have not had such an access to the temptations of our generation. There are two conflicting messages. Obviously men have to fall into all those temptations because they are men. On the other hand there are equally strong condemnations of men in general for not having the moral strength they once had. It is a divide and confused message. 

The division in arguments that Jesus spoke about against the pharisees is equally brought against us in our day. It is left to us as men and women who believe in Christ to discern the truth. God is well aware of the challenges that face us as we attempt to do His will. He knows our temptations and our tendencies, and yet He has expectations that we rise above, lifted by the Cross. I invite you to take whatever struggles you have with this current subject matter to the Lord in peaceful moments of prayer and reflection such as this meditation. 

God can take the confusing messages of the world of shame and was them away with our sin. What is left is an inspirational message of grace that lifts us out of the mess we would otherwise be left to. Receive of God’s grace. 

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.

Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life:
