Dwell in the House of the Lord Volume 1, Day 17

Dwell in the House of the Lord Volume 1, Day 17

Luke 5:16 | 16 But he would withdraw to deserted places and pray.

 What depletes us varies with age, circumstance, and personality. What fills us also varies from person to person. If you were to rank the following for capacity to recharge you, what would be your
order?

  •  Silence
  • Creative labor
  • Study and reading
  • Music
  • Exercise
  • Landscape
  • Adventure
  • Meditation
  • Socializing
  • Prayer

 Electric vehicles have limited range and must plan trips with charging stations in mind—so must we!

 Do you have a recharge plan?

 Do you follow it?

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
