AN UNCOMMON DEVOTIONAL

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. Features/Benefits > Uses an updated approach to lectio divina or “divine reading” > Six daily devotions per week with a day of reflection and rest on the

seventh day > Extended reference passages are listed for each reading allowing

readers to go back to their Bible and read the entire passage > Devotions are numbered and not dated so the reader can start any time

of the year > Includes a topical index making it easy to find specific topics for devotions > Selected passages are marked for new believers > Available in The Message translation and coming in January 2013 for

the first time, HCSB and KJV > Product line includes full SOLO devotionals, New Testament, and New

Testament devotional journals

Genesis 3:1-10

1 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 pres-ence 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.

day 1

Read the passage, Genesis 3:1-10, carefully.

For many of us, these are familiar verses. The first two chapters of Genesis speak of God’s amazing Creation. Chapter 3 speaks of the rebellion of humankind. And the remainder of the Message details God’s intricate and loving plan to redeem, restore, and reconcile creation back to himself after what happened in Genesis 3. God’s plan hinges on what happened in the garden. How does this passage speak to your situation today?

There is no better way to begin to understand God’s Message than to grasp our separation from him because of sin and our desperate need for him to reconcile our relationship. Take some time to confess those areas where you have deliberately rebelled against God.

Knowing that you and everyone else on earth have rebelled against God, what do you feel? In what ways does this knowledge affect the way you live your life?

Reread verse 9. If God knows everything, why did he call out to Adam asking, “Where are you?”

In verse 10, Adam responds to God’s question by saying, “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid.” When are you most tempted to hide?

Genesis 3:1-10

1 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 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden. 3 But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”

4 “No! You will not die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid themselves from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 And he said, “I heard You in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

A basic survival kit can be as diversified as the outdoor activities avail-able. Use the following guidelines in developing the best survival kit for your needs and context of use.

When building your survival kit consider layering, that is, think in layers.• First layer

77 Always with you.77 Small tin, waterproof container, 77 Easy to attach or carry on your body (pocket-sized-container,

soft belt pouch, fanny pack)• Second layer

77 Larger items & additional items 77 Contained in a daypack or backpack.

• Third layer77 Items that can be left at your base camp or vehicle.77 Plastic storage box, footlocker etc.

The more you think about it the bigger your survival kit can grow, so this layering system will help you to prioritize and organize your equipment.

Basic survival categories with possible minimal items:• Water

77 Purification tablets77 Sponge77 Water treatment filter straw77 Small drip bottle containing household bleach (2-3 drops/

quart of water+30 minutes for purification)77 Plastic bags or similar container for transporting water.
