With 15 days and 10 locations behind me, I’m taking a couple of days off to rest, read and reflect.
Here’s two books I’ll be working through:
A Simple Way to Pray by Martin Luther
and
Communion with God by John Owen
Luther teaches his barber how to pray. He advises preparing to pray using the 10 commandments, the Creed (I’m using “The Apostles Creed”), and the Lord’s Prayer as preparation and guide.
As I began rereading Dr. Luther, this was the view from my room⬇️
Owen has been reminding me of the joy of communicating with, and worshiping the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Here’s an outline for living in communion, in love with God:
“It is indeed made up of these four things:– 1. Rest; 2. Delight; 3. Reverence; 4. Obedience. By these do we hold communion with the Father in his love.”
Some will complain that this is too formulaic. Maybe, but in my experience those whose communion with God is the rushed aren’t afraid of formula.
The converse also seems to be true.
