Where to meditate?

Within your temple, O God, 
    we meditate on your unfailing love.

from Psalm 48

Where is God’s temple? Well Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 6 that are bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit so where can we meditate on God’s unfailing love? By looking within ourselves. We are God’s temples. We can mediate within ourselves, which is how we can be praying all the time and in all circumstances. We don’t need to go to a church – though being part of a life-giving congregation is brilliant. We can be with God pondering God’s unfailing love wherever we are because we are God’s temple.

Amazing!

[Got this revelation this morning whilst reading Bible Society’s Lent meditations and just had to share. Hopefully there will be many more to come!]

I married Ian in 2007. I have two grown up children, who I home schooled until they were 16. My son has just joined the army, my daughter has just moved to Cardiff.
I have a degree in History and Creative writing and a PGDip in using Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes.
Until Feb 2016 I lived in a beautiful part of England and now I live in a beautiful part of North Wales where my time is filled with welcoming Airbnb rental guests, running writing workshops, writing, serving in my local Welsh Anglican Church, going for long walks with my little dog, Renly, and drinking coffee and chatting with friends
