Matthew 5: 1 - 2

LECTIO & MEDITATIO

When Jesus saw the crowd, he did not get excited to go to the crowd and teach them immediately. Instead he went up to the mountain and sat down.
I suppose he went up to pray. He went up to seek the Father.
He went up to be with God.
But when the disciples went up to the mountain to look for him, he then began to teach them.

CONTEMPLATIO / PRAYER

Lord Jesus, help me remember to seek you first in all I do.
To put you first and to remember to spend personal moments with you before ministry.
Before I speak with anyone, remind me to speak with you first.
Then only will my words be filled with your love and grace.
Amen!
