Stop and Steep


Unlock the divine whispers that guide your soul and discover the intimate conversation awaiting you within the sacred pages of Scripture.

Our faith quenches a spiritual thirst through the Holy Spirit and intimate connection with God. Many struggle to understand this, but it begins with reading my Word. Not just reading, but highlighting your favorite verses, and not just highlighting, but soaking them in.

As you delve into your Bible, listen closely to my gentle voice speaking directly to your heart. Each verse becomes a conduit for my wisdom and love, drawing you into a deeper relationship and a greater experience of my character.

As soon as you come to a verse that captures your heart, don’t try to keep reading. Stop right there and jump into the verse like a tea bag into water. Steep by reading the verse slowly, just one word at a time or a few words at a time. Focus and listen, for God surely has something personal to say to you through his Word.

As you focus in this way, my Holy Spirit will inhabit the words and bring them to life. As you jump into Scripture like a bag into steaming water, you will realize your thirst for me. Scripture isn't like reading a book; my words are alive and get inside you, changing the essence of Who you are. 

This method of reading my Word will satisfy that thirst and imprint Scripture within you for life.

Now, you’re not just reading your Bible; you are conversing personally with me.

"Let's practice the art of Bible meditation. ... Let us open our Bibles, spread them out on a chair and meditate on the Word of God. It will open itself to us, and the Spirit of God will come and brood over it. ... Put away the questions and answers and the filling in of blank lines ... and in faith say, "Father, here I am. Begin to touch me!" ~A.W. Tozer

With love beyond measure,

Deep Calls to Deep

 


I do not want to know you on a surface level. I give the deepest part of me to know the deepest part of you, the innermost, intimate part of your being. I beseech you to open up to me, to let me in. Although I am the infinitely powerful, almighty God, I am also safe with my children. My great love compels me to open myself up to you. Come my child and commune with me.

"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life" (Psalm 42:7-8).

Love,
