Break TrailSample
Have you ever made a to-do list? Maybe you had a big project coming up at school, and you wanted to make sure you remembered all of the steps. Maybe your parents gave you a boatload of chores during summer break, and you knew you couldn't miss any of them! If we ever want to remember our spiritual "to-do" items, it's pretty basic: be the hands and feet of Jesus. That phrase sounds so weird, doesn't it?! What does it mean to be his hands and feet?
Isaiah, a prophet from the Old Testament, told us we're to give hope to the poor, encourage the heartbroken, and stand up for those who are pushed to the side. It sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But really, it can start one small step at a time. Before you know it, you've made a lasting impact on others by just showing up in ways you can. In everything we accomplish throughout the day, we can never forget to be Jesus to the world by caring for others in need.
What do you think our world would look like if we started to live all of this out every week?

About this Plan
If you're a hiker, you know a trail-breaker is someone who walks ahead, makes a new way, and invites others to follow. That's exactly what Jesus did for us. He broke a new trail with his birth, his life, his teachings, and then with his death and resurrection. In this 30-day devotional series designed for Lent, we’ll see how Jesus showed us a new way of living and knowing God.
