So Much More: Scripture Meditation (Lectio Divina)

This guided Scripture meditation is in Psalm 37 using Lectio Divina.

Waiting on God is hard. This Psalm reminds us that God will act on our behalf – in his timing and in his ways.

It also reminds us to not get caught up in comparison. It will only agitate us, and nothing good comes from this.

So, take a deep breath and allow the Lord to guide you into this meditation in Psalm 37. I believe he has something just for you.

The passages we meditated on is as follows:

Psalm 37:5-9, CSB

5 Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him, and he will act,

6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn,

your justice like the noonday.

7 Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for him;

do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,

by the person who carries out evil plans.

8 Refrain from anger and give up your rage;

do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.

9 For evildoers will be destroyed,

but those who put their hope in the Lord

will inherit the land.

The passages we meditated on is as follows:

Isaiah 43:16–19, NIV

16 This is what the Lord says—

he who made a way through the sea,

a path through the mighty waters,

17 who drew out the chariots and horses,

the army and reinforcements together,

and they lay there, never to rise again,

extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

18 “Forget the former things;

do not dwell on the past.

19 See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland.

Choosing to Courageously Trust God | Meditation on Psalm 27: 1-3, 13-14

A Scripture Meditation on Psalm 27 using Lectio Divina.

Do not be afraid.

Easier said than done. Fear is a common emotion when we feel scared, concerned, or even ashamed.

In this Psalm, David was being pursued by his very real enemies who wanted to do very real hard to him. In the face of this uncertainty, David chose courageous trust when he declared that God was greater than his enemies and therefore, he would not be afraid.

David placed his confidence in the Lord. May we do the same.

Listen in to this guided meditation and allow the Holy Spirit to direct you to what he has for you.
