Experiencing Jesus Together Through Lentنموونە

Day 18:

Scripture:
“Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.”  Psalm 119:97-99

A Call To: Meditate
I love Lent. Some people “give up something for Lent”. I remember as a kid going to very somber Lenten services in my little country church.

But now Lent is something very sweet to me, very personal, very contemplative. This is a time to meditate on His word. To review His commands. To seek His wisdom, which is wiser than the purported wisdom of this world. To gain insight into God’s eternal plan for our salvation.  

Break away from the formalities and traditions, and take your humble place at the foot of the cross. Get alone and tell God how much you love Him.

Reflection:
Here’s your question to ponder: What in your life do you need to set aside right now to gain a greater appreciation for what Jesus has done for you through His death (to defeat sin) and His resurrection (to defeat death)?

Praise + Prayer:
Dear loving Father. I pause just now to meditate on your Word. Give me wisdom and insight into Your ways. Help me to carry those thoughts with me in the coming days as we observe Your death and resurrection. I love you, Jesus. Amen
