“My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.”
Psalm 77:1
The news isn’t getting any better…here in Montgomery County, more restrictions are being placed, more businesses will close. We pray out for all those who have had to stop working, for business that have had to close. For those who have succumbed to the virus. We ask why? These are trying times; times that will test our faith. How can we remain steadfast during this time? Dear friends, God is with us, and He hears are prayers. Continue to lift up your voice in prayer and meditate on His Word. Jesus Christ is walking with us through this storm.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
A common practice for reflecting on Scripture:
Lectio Divina (Latin for “Divine Reading”) is a traditional monastic practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God’s word. It does not treat scripture as texts to be studied, but as the living word.
Traditionally, Lectio Divina has four separate steps: read; meditate; pray; contemplate. First a passage of scripture is read, then its meaning is reflected upon. This is followed by prayer and contemplation on the Word of God.
