Word for the Day
Take a deep breath and find a little silence within yourself first, then...
READ the verse a few times with a listening heart filled with unhurried expectation.
REFLECT on this question, "What are you saying to me in this verse today, Lord?"
RESPOND to this reading by honestly pouring yourself out to God. Let God hear whatever feelings, thoughts, questions and doubts you may have.
REST in God's Word by simply, deeply being in the presence of God that you have found in your experience.
