This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax, refocus, and re-narrate your life. I’m Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination. 

Our summer schedule has begun. Look for new once-per-week episodes each Tuesday during the summer.

Psalms 16:2 (NIV) 

“I say to the LORD, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’”

Psalms 31:14-16 (NIV)

“But I trust in you, LORD; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands.”

“LORD” in all uppercase letters in our English Bibles indicates that in Hebrew God’s name, Yahweh, is used. Yahweh is the ancient Hebrew verb form for “HE IS.” God’s name in the Hebrew scriptures is used more than any other term for God. More than “God” is used. 

When we survey the various truths associated with God’s name, HE IS, in the Hebrew scriptures (what we call the Old Testament), four important aspects of God are emphasized. 

These four realities of what God’s name means are easy to memorize, and so to remember them when you “Praise the LORD” and “Trust in the LORD” will help you replace anxieties and self-protective tension with a calm confidence and peace.
