Scripture –
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,
For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
Psalm 63: 5-8
Como con médula y grosura está saciada mi alma;
y con labios jubilosos te alaba mi boca.
Cuando en mi lecho me acuerdo de ti,
en ti medito durante las vigilias de la noche.
Porque tú has sido mi socorro,
y a la sombra de tus alas canto gozoso.
A ti se aferra mi alma;
tu diestra me sostiene.
Salmos 63: 5-8

Our final review! It really is a wrap up for the week. How have you been doing? Has it helped with your study time. Creek Living Water is off and running. His Word transforms us if we will just dig in, reflect, chew, and then apply. Let's look at our last entry from Pastor John:
"My heart is that we will all drink deeply of the Living Word and be transformed!
As I was reading John 1:1 this week I was reminded of the True Message.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Jesus is the logos (Greek) or Word. It means the 'message.' Jesus IS the message and He has left us His Living Word not so we can be filled with information, but so that we can be filled up with Him. As we drink in the Word - in our minds and hearts - we are drinking Him in as His Holy Spirit speaks to us!
I want to encourage you to continue on in Lectio.
Read and Listen to the Text allowing yourself some silence and listening for the Spirit's voice
Meditate on the words or phrase that the Holy Spirit is speaking to you about
Pray, speak to the Living Word and wrestle if necessary with what the Spirit has been speaking Contemplate by resting in God and praise Him for speaking to you
I pray that the River of Life continues pouring the hope and power of Jesus through you and out into the world!"
