Читать книгу Reconnect - David Sherbino - Страница 30

In the final movement of holy reading we simply rest in the presence of God who has used his word as a means of inviting us to experience his embrace on our life. At this stage there is no agenda, you have come quietly into the presence of God, you have read his word, you have meditated upon it and as God has spoken to you, you speak back to him. Now you simply rest in his presence. You simply enjoy the experience of being in the presence of God. Many find this to be the most difficult stage or phase of holy reading. We are not used to being silent and simply resting in God. We are activists. In fact it is not surprising that in this stage many will find their mind begins to wonder. If this occurs simply re-read the passage or go back to the word, phrase or concept that God has spoken to you, continue to meditate upon it and then allow yourself to be in the presence of God.
