Psalm 51:12
My apologies for the skipped days this week. We will work harder on this for the rest of Lent. You can keep us encouraged by commenting below.
Last night a young man from our church called me. I asked, "How's it going?" "Just tryin' to live in the joy of my salvation today... that's what today's Lent devotional was about." Wow. Just a few days ago there was
no joy in his salvation. Henri Nouwen didn't fix him. The Holy Spirit will do all the fixing. But the timing of it all astounded me.
Is your salvation new every morning? Are you more focused on the economic crisis than God's active involvement in this world? Do we believe that the sparrows are really oblivious to the rise and fall of the DOW? Can we learn from the lilies of the field?
If seeking first the Kingdom means learning to live under God's rule, then Lent is a marvelous exercise for us.
Give us willing spirits, Father!
