DEFINITION

Devotional reading or hearing of Scripture requires an open, reflective, listening posture alert to the voice of God. This type of reading is aimed more at growing a relationship with God than gathering information about God.

SCRIPTURE

“Turn my heart toward your statutes. . . .

Oh, how I love your law!

I meditate on it all day long. . . .

How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth! . . .

Your statutes are my heritage forever;

they are the joy of my heart.” (Psalm 119:36, 97, 103, 111)

“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.” (Hebrews 4:12-13)

“The word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.” (Deuteronomy 30:14)
