Day 804 – The Prison of WANT – Meditation Monday

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 804 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Prison of WANT – Meditation Monday Thank you for joining us for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 804 of our trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy. For some, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. Some may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and praying. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and make sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body. As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you too will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind.  We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Are you in prison? I don’t mean a physical prison, but self-created shackles and bars. Anything that stifles us from reaching our God-given potential is bars that will imprison us. Today’s meditation is taken from a book written by Max Lucado, and it is… The Prison of WANT Come with me to the most populated prison in the world. The facility has more inmates than bunks. More prisoners than plates. More residents than resources. Come with me to the world&#8217;s most oppressive prison. Just ask the inmates. They will tell you. They are overworked and underfed. Their walls are bare, and their bunks are hard. No prison is so populated. No prison is so oppressive. And, what&#8217;s more, no prison is so permanent. Most inmates never leave. They never escape. They never get released. They serve a life sentence in this overcrowded, under-provisioned facility. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-17464 aligncenter" src="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Prison-of-WANT-5-300x188.jpg" alt="The Prison of WANT 5" width="300" height="188" srcset="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Prison-of-WANT-5-300x188.jpg 300w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Prison-of-WANT-5-768x480.jpg 768w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Prison-of-WANT-5-610x381.jpg 610w,...
