Want to hear from God?
Back in 2005, I learned about the ancient practice of lectio divina or spiritual reading. Learning to use this on a daily basis has radically changed the way I relate to Scripture and to God. I believe God speaks to me through his Word, and it changes me in the best way. If you haven't tried it, you have missed a blessing. Give it a try today.
Book Excerpt
Still Small Voice of Love
Hearing God in the Scriptures
(Lectio Divina)
Lectio (Read)
Thoughtfully read a brief passage from the Word of God, listening with the ears of your heart.
Note what word or phrase seems to call to you
What sparkles?*
Meditatio (Meditate)
Slowly reread the passage, and repeat the word
that has chosen you, asking God,
”What do you want me to learn from this today?”
Ask your heart, “Why this word, here and now?”*
Oratio (Pray)
As you read the passage a third time, savor it.
Let it move you to place yourself before the One
who has invited you into intimate dialogue.
Trust God enough to speak from your heart.*
Contemplatio (Contemplate)
Read the passage a last time and as you sit quietly,
let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart.
Let go of the text and simply rest in God.
As the fragrance of God’s word fills the room,
enjoy the sweetness of your communion with the God of the Scriptures.
