Lectio Divina is the divine or sacred reading of Scripture. Create some sacred space for God and spend a few quiet moments engaging with his Word. As you allow the Spirit to lead, you may be surprised by where he leads you.   Once you’ve listened to this Scripture Experience podcast, then head over to the next episode and catch the interview with Dominic Done to hear where the Lord led him.   Dominic is the founder of Pursuing Faith and the author of a new book Your Longing Has a Name: Come Alive to the Story You Were Made For where he uses 2 Peter 1:5-8, the exact verses we are mediating on, to show us how our souls can and should flourish in difficult times. Dominic has a master’s in theology from the University of Oxford and has served as a pastor, a professor and a missionary.   You can find Jodie at Jodieniznik.com Instagram @creatingspaceforgod Facebook @jodieniznik Download your free Lectio Divina Guided journal here. If you would like to go deeper into the life of Peter, this series coincides with Jodie’s Bible study: Journey: A Study of Peter for Stumbling Toward Jesus’s Extravagant Grace.   The exact verses read in the podcast are: 2 Peter 1:5-8, NIV 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
