Has “lectio divina” reached your world? Do you know the term?
Not until just now when I looked it up. :o)
I is like when Paul spoke to the Romans about having the word in our hearts and our mouths. That requires reading, meditating and even singing the words of God in order to have THE Word near to us. A lot like the Jews did with the Psalms as do many Christians today as well as other Scripture passages. Good idea for everyone!
Romans 10:8-10
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
