The Story of the Stones

Become the place of God’s presence.

What’s your Happy Place? The cabin your family went to every summer? A trail that leads to a peak with a view that never ceases to take your breath away? The restaurant where you had your first date?

As we think about our Happy Place, we wish we could find a way to bring the joyful, peaceful feelings our memories evoke into reality. To embody, and in a sense, become what our Happy Place has the power to create in us.

This week, we’re looking at three places in the collective memory of God’s people – the Bible – to explore the kinds of places his hope-filled presence inhabits and how we can create those same spaces in our lives.

Homework

Pray: Jesus, may I become the place of your presence
When you see a stone, pray: May I become the place of your presence.
