My Vision of the Way Out-Lent 18, 2020

March 17, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: You’re Not Trapped

Lord Jesus, please give me eyes to see Your perspective on all life events. Yes, human sin is rampant. Yes, we are not grieved as often as we humans should be at the sin we so easily accept. Yes, evil is everywhere and it’s enough to make us feel helpless against it, like it is a riptide carrying us far from safe shores. But we praise You, Lord, that You provide the way out of the labyrinth of sin and confusion. You are our Way. May Your Holy Spirit be pleased to show us how to see this world as You see it, to guide us through when human strength and wisdom suffice, and to carry us out of fear and panic and into the hope and trust we find in You because You are faithful! You are so good and wise and loving! You are merciful and forgiving! Strengthen us with Your holy comfort, cover us with Your hands when there are things we cannot bear to witness, give us hearts to turn toward You, and when we cannot even lift our own heads to look upward because our sin and shame are so deep and dark, we humbly ask that You would lift our heads to see You and Your perfection. Remind me often that there is no fear in love, that perfect love drives out fear and love overcomes a multitude of sins. You are love. Strengthen us with that confident knowledge of our standing with You, even as we face a coming judgment in our world of sin. Bring many to repentance, Lord. Let each of us who know You be praying intently for our nation and just one who is lost, knowing the angels in heaven rejoice when even one soul comes home to You. Praying all this to You alone, our One and only God. Amen.

Lent 2013 looked at The Letter to the Romans: Paul’s Masterpiece to reclaim foundations of our Christian heritage and began February 13, 2013.
A very special and ever popular offering was Lent 2014’s Be Still and Know that I AM God which can be obtained through the archives beginning in March 2014.
Lent 2015 began on February 18, 2015 with a series entitled With Christ in the Upper Room: Final Preparations. We explored what is often called “The Upper Room Discourse” found in John chapters 13-17.
ReKindle, the Lent 2016 series, began on February 10, 2016 and encouraged us to rekindle our spiritual lives.
Light: There’s Nothing Like It was the 2017 Lent series and explored this metaphor often used to portray Christ. It is archived beginning March 1, 2017.
Lent 2018, we explored the questions of Pi and Chi (the Greek letter beginning the word Christos, which means Christ, Messiah, the Anointed One). We asked and answered the questions “Why?” from the movie Life of Pi as we discovered the uniqueness of Jesus Christ in a world of many faiths.
Lent 2019 gave us a deeper window into Easter “More to the Easter Story” since we miss so much when we rely only on a superficial understanding of the work of Christ. These devotionals are archived beginning March 6, 2019.

My Vision of Salvation’s Design-Lent 17, 2020

March 16, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: Jesus Crucified was not Plan B

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your supreme sacrifice at the Cross. Thank You for the mercy that flows from Your wounds and by them we are healed. Remind me during times it seems like the world is spinning out of control, You’ve got the whole world in Your nail-pierced hands. Scripture tells us that Your plan of salvation was from the beginning of creation, that You’ve been the Lamb of God slain from the beginning for the sins of man. Help me to see that suffering made Your plan perfect, and if wounds of life made You perfect as the founder and architect of our faith, then there is value in our suffering too. Help us to turn from our sin and look to You during troubled times. We need You, Lord Jesus. Amen.

My Vision of God’s Giving Nature-Lent 16, 2020

March 14, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: God as the Giver of Good and Perfect Gifts

We praise You, Lord, as the Father of the heavenly lights, that every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from You. We praise You that You do not change like shifting shadows. You send abundant showers and shower us with gifts of many kinds–health, wealth, joys, peace, food, clothing, housing, friends–and especially that You chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all You created. May we learn to be grateful people, even in the midst of life’s crises and strife. For You are with us. You have not forsaken us. Everything good in our lives comes from You. Please do not let us get discouraged in our daily circumstances, for even our sorrows have passed first through Your hands of love so that we might learn Your comfort and to rely upon You. Give us the gifts of grace and gratitude. For it is in Christ’s Name we pray. Amen.

My Vision of God’s Faithfulness-Lent 15, 2020

March 13, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: God’s faithfulness inspires confidence

How beautiful Father, that You are a God of covenants. You didn’t have to make a covenant between Yourself and all life on earth that never again would all life be destroyed by a flood. We praise You that there is nothing we add to this covenant and there’s nothing we could do to cause You to break it. You are faithful! May we go through each day aware of the confidence we can have in Your love, of Your grace, and in Your salvation through knowledge of Your faithfulness. This week, I’ve had cause to think about the fossil records of fish eating a reptile and fish eating fish fossils and animals giving birth fossils and how fish that die naturally float instead of sink and I’ve been prompted to consider how a Great Flood could bury fish and reptiles with sediment so quickly we could have a snapshot of these events in our fossil record. I believe in Your creative act in designing our world. I believe in Your judgment against sin during the Great Flood and promised at Your return. You are faithful! I believe in Your rescue planned before time began. Thank You for sending Jesus as our Deliverer. We praise You that He saves us from the wrath to come! I ask that the words I write and speak each day will draw others to acknowledge Your faithfulness and receive Your forgiveness and grace. You’re amazing, Lord. Be magnified today! Amen.

My Vision of God as Preserver-Lent 14, 2020

March 12, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: Ways in Which God Preserves Us

Lord God of all Wisdom, we praise You that it is not in Your nature to be wasteful and not in Your character to make mistakes. You are generous and perfect and holy and just. We thank You for patterns You give us in the Bible by Your design. That You could experience sorrow at having made man given what we did with Your gift of life. When I read that You regretted having made human beings on the earth, and Your heart was deeply troubled, it’s not Your character or design that was flawed. It was human sin that caused both. Yet we rejoice that instead of casting all of earthly creation into destruction, You decided to save some through the great flood. You saved man and You saved animals. Plants weathered the flood as did the fish by Your design. Indeed even Noah and his family found favor in Your eyes. Moreover, we praise You for the pattern of salvation that this established for the deliverance yet to come. We praise You for Your patience and not wanting any to perish. We praise You that Jesus has paved the way for us by faith in Him. You are good, Lord. And we praise You in Jesus’ Name. Amen

My Vision of God’s Protection-Lent 13, 2020

March 11, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: Protection, Not Punishment

Thank You, Father, for the protection You gave mankind, that You didn’t allow us to eat from the tree of life and live forever in a sinful state. Help me to see this as discipline and protection … and not as punishment. Living forever in a sinful state would be almost as bad as hell. Drive that point home to me. Strife. Forever. Crime. Forever. Pain. Forever. Misery. Forever. Divisions. Forever. Hatred. Forever. The only thing missing would have been death and replaced by living forever as a living hell. Therefore, in Your Wisdom, Lord, You gave us consequences and protection, gifts both, from Your hand of mercy. Yes, death has been a consequence that followed as “surely die” that You forewarned. But even so, death has always been in Your eyes, an enemy to be defeated with Your unassailable battle plan, defeating death Yourself. And for us, Lord, You have provided a way back to Yourself and to eternal life from the very beginning even as we experienced banishment from Your holy presence. We praise You that You are merciful and forgiving! We praise You for Your wise and wonderful plan for salvation! We praise You for the sinless perfection of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior in whose Name we pray. Amen

My Vision of Agreeing With God About Sin-Lent 12, 2020

March 10, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: Gaining a more biblical view of my own sin

Holy Father, Almighty God, You have every right to be repulsed by human sin and to find sin offensive to Your holiness and perfection. You are always righteous in everything You do and I need Your help to see my sins as You see them. May Your Holy Spirit teach me the gravity of the sins which seem small on a human comparison level, but are amplified by my committing them against, not just man, but my eternal God and Savior. If my sins were not a big deal, Jesus wouldn’t need to have died for them. Help me to see this is the cost of even the tiniest transgression. In You is all Truth and Wisdom, all Love and Mercy, all Perfection now and forever more. Remind me that You are also forgiving when I condemn myself over my sins…and that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I thank You for Your mercy and the forgiveness You purchased for me by the blood of Your Son Jesus. Thank You that Jesus bore all the wrath against sin, and I am forever grateful He forgives the sins I have committed. I’m sorry for the weight of sin I contributed to the wrath He bore for humankind. Thank You that even though my sins are like scarlet, they have been washed white as snow in the cleansing blood of Christ and by His forgiveness, my sins are removed as far as east is from the west. Thank You, Lord, for the assurance in Your Word. I praise You, Lord. I thank You for Your mercy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

My Vision of God’s Commands-Lent 11, 2020

March 9, 2020 No Comments

Prayer Focus: Why We Should Honor God’s Commands

Almighty God, Father in heaven, forgive me for those times when I view Your commands as being restrictive, limiting, and too hard to obey. Help me to see there is freedom in Your commands. There is peace with You and peace within as I obey them. Your commands are always worth honoring and all of mankind could save ourselves tremendous heartache and a world of problems by having obeyed them back in the Garden of Eden and today. Open my eyes to the life and light in obeying You. Give me a heart to know that Your commands are a discipline of love. Thank You, for forgiving me when I fail, for taking me back when I’ve wandered, and for seeking me when I was lost. There is no hiding from You when I’ve failed to live up to Your commands. There is no such thing as a secret sin. Help me to fear Your judgment, knowing all things of my life will be laid bare before You as they are already known by You. I deceive only myself when I try to hide. Please help me to keep short accounts with You, repenting quickly when Your Holy Spirit brings things to mind. I want to follow Jesus and to live as He did. Help me to find life in Your commands. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
