Nouwen Meditation: Let God Be the Master of Your House

"Now & Then" Podcast

This week on "Henri Nouwen, Now & Then", we meet author and podcaster Christiana Crook who challenges us with JOMO – The Joy of Missing Out. She also addresses a modern day malaise – finding the balance between our drive to succeed and God’s call to be still.

DAILY MEDITATION | JANUARY 18, 2021
Let God Be the Master of Your House
It strikes me increasingly just how hard-pressed people are nowadays. It’s as though they’re tearing about from one emergency to another. Never solitary, never still, never really free but always busy about something that just can’t wait. You get the impression that, amid this frantic hurly-burly, we lose touch with life itself. We have the experience of being busy while nothing real seems to happen. The more agitated we are, and the more compacted our lives become, the more difficult it is to keep a space where God can let something truly new really take place.

The discipline of the heart helps us to let God into our hearts so that God can become known to us there, in the deepest recesses of our own being.
"I love you, O Lord, my strength."

PSALM 18:1 (NIV)
