Day 25: Tov, Good

The Well Church in The City of New York

Day 25: Tov, Good

April 5, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 86:5–7

In a culture of subjectivity where we say to one another, "you do you, and I'll do me," how do we define what is good?

What are the characteristics of someone who is good?

The Hebrew scriptures of the Bible describe God as tov, which means good. Scripture says: "You, Adonai, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for lovingkindness. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me."

In today's meditation, we will sit with the goodness of God and give our mind, body, and spirit an opportunity to receive God's goodness.

Silence, Be Still and Know

April 15, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 46:10

As our Lenten Journey comes to an end on Good Friday, we bring our awareness of connecting with God through silence. Have you ever experienced God at the very ground of your being? Today we invite you to answer God's invitation to: "Be still and know..."

Day 32: Humble

April 14, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • John 13:14–17

A Trappist monk once said: Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. There is nothing that is more disarming than being in the presence of someone who is humble. Jesus approaches us with divine humility in exchange for our pride. We invite you today to open your heart to being filled with the gift of Jesus' humility.

Day 31: Light of the World

April 13, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • John 8:12

Ancient scripture in the book of John shares: "In Jesus was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Today in our meditation, we invite you to open your spiritual imagination to ponder and visualize Jesus' divine light.
