Modern-day teachings try to remove the discipline of observing the Sabbath. They encourage us to fill those still and quiet moments with our own pleasures. We walk away satisfied but our souls run dry. Only God can sustain the soul. To get our fill, we have to meet with Him.
There are many ways to contribute to the growth of God’s kingdom. Motherhood is one of them. When we view our children as disciples, we are able to accurately view ourselves as ministers of the gospel. We have the opportunity to do the good work of building God’s kingdom right there in our homes.
Most people hear the word meditate and think crisp-cross-applesauce on the floor, palms on your knees, humming some sort of monotone hum. That’s not the picture of meditation you’ll find in the Bible. So what does meditation mean to a Bible-believing Christian?
