Continuous Contemplation
A constant, continous, perpetual, contemplation is basically the idea behind Brother Andrew's classic 'Practicing the Presence of God'.
As Rev. Dominic Yeoh preached, "God is always speaking. It is us who's not always listening... Often sins block us from seeing and hearing God."
So, God's words flow continuously.
It's not like blocks of wood that you can tell when it comes, when it doesn't.
But it's like a Living Water that is continously flowing.
And I want to be like a tree planted by the water (Ps. 1), that will yield fruits in due time, and whose leaves and branches will not wither. Ezekiel 47 also speaks about the fruitfulness and the life that is created in the surroundings of the Living Water.
Help me to learn to hear your voice 'O God!
For in You I feel content and found.
