AN UNCOMMON DEVOTIONAL
ONE-ON-ONE WITH GOD 2
The ancient practice of lectio divina or “divine reading” was all about wholeness—whole practice, whole Bible, whole God. By taking a passage of Scripture and thoughtfully reading it, significantly thinking about it, praying through it, and truly living it, the people who studied God’s Word this way communed with Him daily. Read. Think. Pray. Live. What do these four elements look like in a devotional? SOLO devotionals will teach your customers how to use lectio divina from a fresh perspective. By learning to spend time alone with God everyday, readers discover how to listen to what God is telling them through His Word. These undated devotions, paired with Scripture, show them how He is shaping them into the person He designed them to be.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 1

And the remainder of the Message details God’s intricate and loving plan to redeem, restore, and reconcile creation back to himself Genesis after what3:1-10 happened in Genesis 3. God’s plan hinges on what happened in 1 the garden. How does this passage speak to your situation today? Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 There is no better way begin to understand God’s The woman said to thetoserpent, “We may eat the fruitMessage from thethan trees to 3 our separation from of sin andmiddle our desperate need for in grasp the garden.
