Meditations of my heart

The week has been overshadowed again by a hurricane, this time hurricane Wall Street. This kind of storm is large covering the 3000 miles of America and is far reaching over the entire globe. The fear, rumors, and drama are all part of the movement of the storm. Add to that the feeder bands of a roller coaster DOW, banks and mortgage companies acting like escalators and the general public feeling confused and disoriented. YEP...the makings of a bad category 4 storm.

As I pondered the meaning of meditation, I have realized that for me: it is the pondering of the holy, in the presence of His holiness to present holiness to ordinary life. If that is truly to be accomplished, then the meditations of my heart must include what is pure and holy....HIM. Easy to say that I will meditate on Him, or His word or His character, but as I am waiting for the quiet, I miss the moment of meditation.

I think that the process of meditation, although significant time needs to be spend in the ponder and quiet....there is a fragment of my daily life and breath that needs to be His presence...ALL day long, every situation, every reaction ...MY EVERYTHING!! Oh that it would be pleasing to Him. That within every part of my being is the place of pleasure for Him, focused on Him, inquiring of Him. From that place of His presence the world would then see His character, love and be drawn to Him personally.

So today Lord, I desire to keep you in the forefront of my existence. So when the storms blow, whether they natural or man made, that all my thoughts, actions, deeds and desires would be in Your will. That you will direct and keep me and that all men would know that You alone are God. Not only would I trust you, but that Your holiness and truth would be living water to all You cross in my path.
