Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina is Latin for divine reading, spiritual reading, or "holy reading," and represents a traditional Catholic practice of prayer and scriptural reading intended to promote communion with God and to increase in the knowledge of God's Word. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally, pray and even sing and rejoice from God's Word, within the soul. - Wikipedia

I was introduced to this way of encountering God and His Word during my Experiencing the Bible class that I took at the Underground this summer. Guy spoke about the Word as the heart of God, and showed us how this way of divine reading can really help us to listen and obey God's voice as revealed through Scripture. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have made it a goal to continue this spiritual discipline in my own devotional life.
