What did you learn today about God, people or yourself? Did anything stand out to you that felt new or different? What can you walk away with today about what the Lord wants from you?
Reflection: One key aspect of Christian Meditation is: Focus on God and scripture: The practice involves deliberately concentrating on a specific verse, phrase, idea, or characteristic of God, such as reflecting on “The Lord is my shepherd” and considering what it means personally.
Today we will focus on Psalm 2. This is a good chapter to focus on our country, our city, our government, etc. Pray these verses over them or see what the Lord would be having you to understand and focus on today. Is there a phrase in that text that stood out to you? Is there an idea or a thought that came to mind? Pray over that today.

As a young Christian, when I read through this text, I knew I wanted to be set apart for God. That road, I learned, can be lonely because people don’t want to live a life that isn’t surrounded by the sin of others. For me it was the choice to not listen to secular music, to not drink, to be careful what I say. I am by no means perfect at this, and have made mistakes and fallen from this lifestyle many times. But I want the people I come in contact with to wonder what is different about me. What is it that allows me to enjoy life without being at the bar drinking, at the club dancing, or walking around speaking like a sailor – yet still getting my point across. I want people to want what I have because I don’t look like them, not because I am one of them. :)
