Scripture meditation invites us to slow down and listen for God’s voice, and today, we’ll engage in Lectio Divina to reflect on our calling through Matthew 28:16-20.

God calls each of us to meaningful work—work that fulfills us and furthers His Kingdom. But do we ever feel truly ready? The disciples wrestled with this, too. After His resurrection, Jesus gathered them on a mountain in Galilee. Some worshiped, some doubted—but all were called.

Jesus didn’t wait for them to have everything figured out before sending them. Instead, He declared His authority, gave them a mission, and promised: "I am with you always."

As we meditate on this passage, we’ll listen, reflect, and respond to Jesus’ invitation. Consider:
Where is Jesus leading you?
What step is He asking you to take?
How does His promise, "I am with you always," shape your response?

Come, rest in His presence. You are never alone.

The passage from this meditation is:

Matthew 28:16-20 NLT

Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
