Welcome to DAY 31 of the Lent Lectio Divina series
Throughout these 6 weeks we will pause each day for a few moments to
Read a passage of scripture, Reflect on what God is saying to us through it, and Ask the Holy Spirit to help us as we step into the invitation this passage offers us
Before we begin this reading, let’s take a moment to pause, to quiet our mind, and to reflect on God’s presence with us right now
This week’s breath prayer comes from Psalm 46:10-11
“The LORD says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God… Selah’”
It’s believed the Hebrew word “Selah” was a musical instruction to pause and reflect on a truth which had just been spoken. As we breathe this prayer let us simplify it each time on the in breath and then reflect on the outbreath with “Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still and know that I am God”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still and know that I AM”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still and know”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be”
And breathe out
“Selah”
Today’s Bible Reading comes from John 3:16-21
As we read this passage now, be listening for one word or phrase the Holy Spirit highlights to you.
START
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
What is one word or phrase the Holy Spirit impressed on you in that reading?
Take a moment to MEDITATE on this.
As we move into our second reading, consider how this passage relates to a current area of your life
RE-READ PASSAGE 2ND TIME
What specific situation in your life does this passage relate to today?
Take a moment now to PRAY about this
As we move into our final reading, consider what God is saying to you personally today from this passage.
RE-READ PASSAGE 3RD TIME
What is Christ’s personal invitation to you from this passage today?
Take a moment now to CONTEMPLATE this
Let us take this time now into the coming day as we pray
That God will bless you and protect you;
That God’s face will radiate with joy because of you;
That God will be gracious to you, show you his favour towards you,
and give you his peace.’
Amen
