Dwelling in the Word Instructions

  1. Read the passage, listening to the whole story.
  2. Re-read the passage, paying attention to what word or phrase or portion of the passage to which you are drawn.
  3. Sit with that part of the scripture and listen, allowing the Spirit to speak to you.
  4. Dwelling in the Word is a communal, repetitive spiritual discipline.  Post your thoughts from today and return regularly to dwell in one of these scripture once again.  If you are using this discipline with a group of people, take time for individuals to share what they are hearing in the passage.
