Spiritual Practices - A Beginning, Part 2


I suppose before I discuss specific spiritual practices I should discuss spiritual practices in general. When I talk about spiritual practices, I mean activities in which we regularly engage to help us draw closer to God and increase our awareness of God. In other words, these practices are intended to help give us eyes to see and ears to hear. With this broad description, I think just about anything could be considered a spiritual practice if it brings us closer to God. And isn't this how life should be? A life filled with God's presence. Brother Lawrence referred to this as "The Practice of the Presence of God." I would call it living in the Kingdom of Heaven.

What do you think?
