Day 974 – The Power of a Touch – Meditation Monday

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 974 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Power of a Touch – Meditation Monday Thank you for joining us today for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 974 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 you, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. You may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and praying.

Our hearts are good; it’s just that our memories are bad. We forget how significant one touch can be. We fear saying the wrong thing, or using the wrong tone or acting the wrong way. So rather than do it incorrectly, we do nothing at all. James 2:17-18 – So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.  Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” Next week we...
