“By God’s great mercy we have been born a new to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
Like many of you, my cell phone or mobile tablet is never far from my hand. One or the other is often within arm’s reach.
My electronic ‘e’ devices help me to stay connected to family and friends, read and send email, take photographs, make household payments, check out library books, even catch the latest news. So too each one assists me in my intentionality which is to stay connected to God’s living word and God’s truth: By God’s great mercy we have been born a new to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
Utilizing one of three specific mobile applications, “apps”, help me to spend intentional time dwelling in God’s word.
Insight Timer is a free app with over 95,000 guided meditations led by the world’s top mindfulness experts, religious leaders, neuroscientists, and psychologists
The Jesus Words Meditation is also a free app which contains guided 10 to 15 minute biblical meditations based on the words of Jesus.
The Pray As You Go app is designed to help anyone to pray as they are traveling to and from work, study, while exercising, or sitting in a quiet place. A new prayer session is produced every day of the work week and one session for the weekend. It is not a ‘Thought for the Day’, a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer life in Christ.
Join me in setting an intention to dwell daily in God’s Word. Let me know if you need any help downloading these or other apps. Let us lean into each knew day in confidence for we are born anew to a living hope!
With peace and loving-kindness,
Deacon Beth
