Spiritual Reading Psalm 19:1

This is a non fact-finding practice. It is simply a reception to what the text has to teach you. A slow dance between Scripture, God and Silence. The meditation begins with a brief explanation of the practice.

Transcript

Welcome to this Lexio Divina,

A practice of spiritual reading.

The roots of spiritual reflection and interpretation go back to the third century.

The monastic practice of Lexio Divina was first established in the sixth century by St.

Benedict and then was formalized as a four-step process during the 12th century.

The practice begins with reading and then meditation,

I invite you to quiet your mind and open your heart to spirits moving through this short scripture.

Thanks so much
Glorious

What a beautiful practice...enjoyed this immensely! I wish it were longer! Thank you, will listen again!

Really like this style of reading a verse, then time to reflect and meditate. Thank you.

I am somewhat familiar with this practice, but never experienced it as powerfully as through this structure and reading.

A meditation on His Glory☀️

This is an awesome practice! The word of most significance for me here is the simple preposition, “of.” All the declarations of the heavens and all the beautiful handiwork of the skies are mere idols if one fails to appreciate to whom they belong— who the are “of.” They are “of” God Alone! As the Qu’ran proclaims, “Al-Hamdu’llah!” Which is to say, “All types of perfect praise and thanks belong to God Alone!”

Thanks. I stare into the sky in awe. Being in awe is feeling Gods presence
