Abide: Practice the Pause
Worship Guide.
We remember Pentecost as the day when the followers of Jesus went from lives of fear to lives of courage and boldness. But how did this happen, what did those followers know to do?
The followers of Jesus were able to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit because they practiced the pause. They waited for the Spirit. They knew they couldn't do for God without God. What if living as a follower of Jesus with peace, courage, and purpose - began with simple remembering to practice the pause? When we do, Jesus sends us the gift of his very presence through the Holy Spirit living in us. There are many different practices in the way of Jesus that are centered around practicing the pause - prayer, silence, solitude, Sabbath.
So today, stop, take a deep breath, set your mind on god - practice the pause.
