Transcript

Take a deep breath,

Let your body relax as you prepare to explore the transcendent presence of God around you.

Reflect again on Genesis 28,

Where Jacob awakens to the reality of God's presence in an unexpected place.

Consider the spaces and moments in your life that might also be thin places where heaven seems to touch earth,

Not just the grand and majestic,

But the simple and ordinary.

Now with each breath,

Imagine drawing in the transcendent,

The holy that surrounds you.

Exhale any doubt or distraction,

Focusing solely on God's divine presence.

Commit to noticing these sacred spaces throughout your day today.

Might be during a conversation,

While you're at work,

Or even as you perform mundane tasks.

As you move throughout this day,

Remind yourself of this reality,

God is here,

In this place.
