YOU REIGN FOREVER

Scripture:  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds.--Psalm 145:13

Invitation:  As you begin today's meditation, start by taking some deep cleansing breaths.  Slowly inhale.  Slowly exhale.  Slowly inhale all that is of God and exhale all that is not God.  Repeat this  process as a way of settling your mind and your spirit.  Practice being still and quiet as you seek an awareness of God's presence.

Now read today's scripture very slowly.  Repeat 5 times.  Each times as you read, slow your pace.  
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
The LORD is faithful in all his words, 
and gracious in all his deeds
After the 5th time, only read or repeat the words that really resonate with you.  Repeat them over and over.  

Elaborate as you repeat these words; for example, 
"Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
Your kingdom is righteous and you will reign for ever..."
Once again, make your reading of today's scripture personal.  Make it your own, just like the psalmist did.  What comes to mind for you when read this scripture.  Dwell on those thoughts.  Share your thoughts openly with God as you read and reflect on today's passage.  Discover what happens....

PrayerFaithful God, I thank you and I love you.  Amen.

The Reverend Tiffney Marley
