  • Unshakably Rooted | Guided Meditation | Psalm 1:1–3
    May 19 2025

    A guided Scripture meditation using Lectio Divina. How can you have a flourishing faith? Psalm 1:1–3 tells us how.

    We all long for stability—a life that can’t be easily shaken.
    And yet, it’s surprisingly easy to drift. Whether it’s the constant stream of news, the demands of our to-do lists, the pull of people’s opinions, or simply our own self-reliance, we can find ourselves slowly swayed—sometimes without even noticing it.

    Psalm 1 offers us a better way.

    It paints a beautiful picture of the person who delights in God’s Word: like a tree planted by streams of water—deeply rooted, spiritually nourished, and steadily bearing good fruit.

    In this Scripture meditation, we’ll slow down and reflect on Psalm 1:1–3, letting God’s Word re-center us and remind us where true blessing and strength come from—not from following the crowd, but from following Him.

    This is the third episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re turning to Scripture to help us stand firm in faith, rely on God’s strength, and hold onto hope.

    In this meditation on Unshakably Rooted, you’ll be invited to:
    • Notice what influences might be pulling you away from God’s best
    • Reflect on what a life of blessing and flourishing could look like for you
    • Consider how God is inviting you to move toward that rooted life
    • Rest in His invitation to grow strong and steady in Him

    Whether you're feeling grounded or feeling a drift, may this time in God’s Word help you become more deeply rooted in His love and truth.

    Psalm 1:1-3, NIV

    1 Blessed is the one

    who does not walk in step with the wicked

    or stand in the way that sinners take

    or sit in the company of mockers,

    2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

    and who meditates on his law day and night.

    3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

    which yields its fruit in season

    and whose leaf does not wither—

    whatever they do prospers.

  • Unshakable in Temptation | Guided Meditation | 1 Corinthians 10:12–13
    May 12 2025

    A Scripture Meditation using Lectio Divina. How to find strength in the midst of temptation.

    Get your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

    Temptation is something we all face—sometimes in obvious ways, sometimes in subtle ones. Whether it’s the urge to react in anger, reach for a harmful habit, or rely on ourselves instead of God, the struggle is real. But so is God’s faithfulness.

    In this Scripture meditation, we’re slowing down with 1 Corinthians 10:12–13, a passage that reminds us we’re not alone in our temptations—and that God always provides a way out. Paul’s words to the Corinthian church are full of warning, yes, but also incredible hope.

    This is the second episode in Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re meditating on Scriptures that help us live with strength and confidence in God’s unshakable character.

    In this meditation on Unshakable in Temptation, you’ll be invited to:

    • Reflect on where you feel most vulnerable to temptation
    • Notice God’s faithfulness and how He provides a way out
    • Examine any pride or self-reliance you may be holding
    • Receive the strength and grace God offers when you struggle
    • Rest in the truth that you are not alone

    God sees your struggle. He offers you strength, mercy, and a way forward. Whether you’re feeling strong today or weary from the battle, may this time in Scripture renew your hope and anchor you in God’s faithfulness.

    Take a few deep breaths, open your heart, and let God meet you right where you are.

    The Entire meditation text is:

    1 Corinthians 10:12-13

    12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
