Continuing in the Message translation of the Sermon on the Mount, in these verses from Matthew chapter 7 Jesus challenges us: to be straightforward with the Lord “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct…. Don’t look for shortcuts to God,” to expect the Lord to be straightforward with us “This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in,” and to be wary of leaders who aren’t straightforward themselves “Don’t be impressed with charisma, look for character.”
May these 20 minutes of guided audio with Matthew 7:7-20 help you to be prayerfully attentive to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today.
Every blessing.
Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
