Life Giving Rhythms

Daniel’s Rhythm
  • Daniel 6:10-3 times a day he prays
    • The presence of the living God is within them.
My Rhythm
  • Sabbath, Exercise, Meditation
    • Rule of Life-when monks use the word “rule”,  they mean a trellis. This allows more light, growth.
    • Our fruit bearing is something God does. See John 15, Philippians 2:12-13
      • Not a have to, but a get to.
      • Sabbath allows me to work from rest.
    • Centering Prayer
    • It’s biblical and practical.
  • God in My Everything Book
    • Not a self created routine but Spirit directed
    • You will have a rhythm by design or by default.
    • My prayer is that you would know God in your everything (work, family, friends, play, service, church, etc.)
