Daily Scripture: Year 1, Day 2

From A Journal of Sacred Readings

Scripture:
This book of the law will not depart from your mouth, but you will meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and you will act wisely.
(Joshua 1:8)

Read: Slowly read the Scripture passage several times.

Reflect: Reflect and ruminate on the words and phrases in the text. Which words, phrases, or images speak most to you?

Respond: Offer the internalized passage back to God in the form of a personalized prayer of adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, or thanksgiving.

Rest: What word or image encapsulates the spirit of the passage for you? Take a few minutes to present yourself before God in silence and yieldedness. When your mind wanders, center yourself by returning to the spirit of the passage.
