Experiencing God through Lectio Divina

11/08/21 • 10 min

The Daily Still Podcast - Guided Christian Meditations and Devotions

Today's meditation focuses on experiencing God through the spiritual practice of Lectio Divina.

Lectio Divina means “divine or sacred” reading and is a way of dialoguing with God through His Word.

In this way of reading the Bible, we slow down in order to read a passage of Scripture for the purpose of spiritual transformation, rather than an information only mindset.

Today's scripture Reading was taken from Isaiah 43:1-5 NLT

Quote by: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together

For more on Lectio Divina and other sacred spiritual practicies, we recommend Ruth Haley Barton’s book, Sacred Rhythms.

Known by God (Psalm 139)

On today’s podcast, host Cindy Helton leads us through a meditation on Psalm 139. If you’re feeling a little unsettled, anxious or just need a few minutes of quiet, this is a place where your soul can breathe. As you meditate upon this timeless Psalm, pay attention to the pronouns 'I', 'Me', and 'My.' Embrace how your Heavenly Father sees, knows, understands and watches over you personally. Scripture Reading taken from Psalm 139 NLT Quote: By Bishop Michael Curry, Love Is the Way "Everybody is God’s somebody. I’ve come to see that the call of God, the love that bids us welcome, is always a call to become the true you...someone made in the image of God, deserving of and receiving love. It’s about discovering your true self—the self that looks like God." The Daily Still Podcast is hosted and copyrighted by Cindy L.

Practicing Christian Meditation

Today’s podcast emphasizes the important benefits of Christian meditation. Meditation is simply focusing the mind on a particular thing. Christian meditation is focusing the whole self - our body, soul, mind and spirit - on God and his word.

God invites us to be still and know him. Stillness fosters a greater awareness of God‘s presence with us.

Quietness teaches us to hear and recognize our creator’s voice.

So what are you focusing on? Are you making worries and concerns your place of meditation? What you focus on grows and begins to dominate your thoughts.

We invite you to settle in and refocus your thoughts on the Divine presence of the Holy One keeping company with you.
