Listening to a guided scripture meditation will
lead you into the meditation experience, and teach you how to meditate more richly, but your meditation will still happen
between you and the Lord--in your heart and mind, your body and your soul.
I remember listening to Shout to the Lord 2000 praise and worship CD one afternoon as I drove through the country on my way to a retreat. Before the CD was half over,
my heart was overflowing, and so were my eyes. I had to open the sunroof so I could lift my hands in praise--one at
a time, of course!
The music on the CD led me to the worship experience, but the
music was not my worship. My worship poured from my heart to the Lord. And when you walk with me on the guided
scripture meditation, the joy and communion, the meditations of your heart, happen between you and the Lord.
