Jɑ̂ŋ 15:4

What if there’s a simple way of living, a way of “practicing” our life, that inexorably draws us closer to Jesus’ gravitational pull—close enough that we can no longer escape his orbit? What if we replace the 543 “must-do’s” of the Christian life with only one thing? What if our interest and curiosity is funneled into a “nothing but Jesus” kind of life? (Taken from the book The Jesus-Centered Life by Rick Lawrence, a companion to the Jesus-Centered Bible—jesuscenteredbible.com.)

In all things, invite God in—asking Him to lead, to show you how to read the map He has given you for life. When we wait on Him and accept what He gives, we are renewed as regret falls away and trust takes its place. Start this three-day plan and begin learning how to live out your story, side by side with the One who wrote it into being.

Do you ever feel vacant and drained? Encountering Christ is both about feeling complete and no longer being empty. These guided audio meditations begin with reflecting on separating the voice of God from the emptiness of clanging cymbals. Your second meditation will help you recover from the emptiness of being pruned. And a final reflection on lifting your eyes from the emptiness of earth to the fullness found in Christ.
