deeply

"If you read [a passage in the Bible] quickly it will benefit you little. You will be like a bee that merely skims the surface of a flower. Instead, in this new way of reading with prayer, you become as the bee who penetrates into the depths of the flower. You plunge deeply within to remove the deepest nectar. Plunge into the very depths of the words you read until revelation, like a sweet aroma, breaks out upon you."
Madame Guyon in Short and Very Easy Way of Prayer:

Eugene Peterson wrote a lovely devotional called Solo. It takes portions of Scripture (from The Message) and walks you through the stages of lectio divina, a devotional way of reading the Word. Instead of merely reading the text, you move into the text.

May you penetrate deeply in the truth and meaning of Scripture as you allow God to meet you, to love you through His Word.
Grace & peace,
Deb
