  • Known in Every Thought | Scripture Meditation on Psalm 139:1–4
    Jul 7 2025

    What if God already knows your every thought—and still loves you?

    In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:1–4, we begin our Fully Known, Fully Loved series with a reflection on God’s deep, intimate knowledge of us. Using the Lectio Divina method, we’ll gently meditate on the reality that God knows every word before we speak it, every move before we make it—and none of that scares Him away.

    In a world obsessed with self-discovery, these verses remind us of something even more powerful:
    Before we try to figure ourselves out…
    God already knows.
    And His love is unwavering.

    In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
    • Reflect on what it means to be fully known by God
    • Consider how God sees and understands you with perfect love
    • Rest in the truth that His knowledge of you is not threatening—but comforting

    Entire Meditation Text:
    Psalm 139:1–6 (NLT)
    1 O LORD, you have examined my heart
    and know everything about me.
    2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
    You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
    3 You see me when I travel
    and when I rest at home.
    You know everything I do.
    4 You know what I am going to say
    even before I say it, LORD.
    5 You go before me and follow me.
    You place your hand of blessing on my head.
    6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too great for me to understand!

  • Unshakably Renewed | Guided Meditation | Romans 12:1–2
    Jun 30 2025

    Scripture Meditation | Lectio Divina | Transformed Thinking | Romans 12:1–2 (CSB)

    Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

    Our final episode of the Unshakable series reminds us of this powerful truth: God’s mercy invites us to live changed lives.
    To not be shaped by the world, but to be shaped by God—renewed from the inside out.

    In this Scripture meditation on Romans 12:1–2, we’ll pause and reflect on what it means to offer ourselves fully to God and allow His Spirit to shape how we think, live, and discern His will.

    This is the ninth and final episode of the series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow.
    Each week, we’ve slowed down with God’s Word to find strength—not in ourselves, but in Him.

    In this guided meditation, you’ll be invited to:
    • Reflect on the mercy of God in your life
    • Consider what it means to be a living sacrifice
    • Identify ways you may be conforming to the world’s patterns
    • Ask God for a renewed mind to discern His good, pleasing, and perfect will

    Whether this series has met you in a season of strength or struggle, I pray this final meditation helps you rest in God’s love and keep walking forward—unshakable and renewed.

    Meditation Passage | Romans 12:1–2 (CSB):
    Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God,
    I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

  • Unshakable Strength in Surrender | Guided Meditation | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10
    Jun 23 2025

    Scripture Meditation | Lectio Divina | Strength in Weakness | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT)

    Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

    Is there a struggle, a weakness, or a burden you’ve been asking God to take away?
    But it’s still there. It feels like it’s lingering, and it’s holding you back.

    You’re not alone.
    The Apostle Paul felt the same way.

    In this passage, Paul shares a deeply personal struggle—his “thorn in the flesh”—and how God responded not by removing it, but by offering a deeper promise:
    “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”

    In this week’s meditation, we’ll slow down with 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, reflecting on what it means to find unshakable strength not in ourselves but in God.

    This is the eighth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re meditating on Scripture that anchors us in God’s truth and helps us stand firm in every season.

    In this meditation on Unshakable Strength in Surrender, you’ll be invited to:
    • Reflect on a place in your life where you feel weak or burdened
    • Notice what God is saying to you through Paul’s words
    • Consider how God might be inviting you to trust Him more
    • Rest in the truth that His grace is not only enough—it is abundant

    Your weakness is not the end of the story.
    It’s the very place where God’s strength is most at work.

    Meditation Passage | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT):

    7 Even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.
    8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.
    9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”
    So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
    10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
