A Call to Meditation


Here is a thoughtful reflection from St. Anselm (AD 1033-1109)

Although written a thousand years ago, it speaks the language of my heart.

A Call to Meditation
Come now, little man
Turn aside for a while from
Your daily employements,
Escape for a moment from
The tumult of your thoughts.
Put aside your weighty cares,
Let your burdensome distractions wait,
Free yourself awhile for God
And rest awhile in Him.
Enter the inner chamber of your soul,
Shut out everything except God
And that which can help you in seeking Him.
Now, my whole heart, say to God,
"I will seek your face.
Lord, it is your face I seek."

    Mark, that is my heart's cry as well. The problem is letting other good things in ministry take precedent. We must guard our time with Jesus.
