Daily Reflection: Sacred Rhythm of Simplicity
Day 1: Silence
Read and reflect: Ecclesiastes 5:2
Take advantage of small opportunities throughout the day to be with God and silent: driving, walking, eating, around nature. Don’t fill these moments with conversation, phones, music, or thinking about the next thing
Day 2: Solitude
Read Luke 5:15-16
Take an hour to simply be alone with God. It can be at the beach, a quiet place in your house, or some other place. Turn off your phone, alert your family.
Simply enjoy being alive in God’s creation.
Day 3: Silence
Read Matthew 5:33-37. Outline the passage. What is being said? Why does he say this?
Today, cut out unnecessary words (let’s say try to speak half of what you normally do). Say what you mean simply and be content with that.
