Today's action item is to practice Lectio Divina. Lectio Divina is a great spiritual practice and is Latin for "Divine Reading". We use God's own words in the Bible to encounter Him in peaceful meditation. The attached video is a very simple guide to Lectio. Try to really meditate and listen to what He has to stay to you. The video outlines seven easy steps.
1. Sit down in a quiet place with the scripture - it can be today's reading or a verse you choose.
2. Ask the Holy Spirit for help in listening and ask "Lord, what do you want from me this day?"
3. Re-Read the text and listen, what does He say to you?
4. Ask for strength from the Holy Spirit to put the word received into practice.
5. Write down briefly the word received.
6. Put into practice the word received today.
7. Verify at the end of the day how you did at putting the word into practice and give thanks to God for speaking to you and guiding you on journey in this life.
