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

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.

Advent and Lenten devotionals remain among my most popular offerings. You don’t want to miss this encounter with God to prepare your heart for Easter! Understanding that prior years’ devotionals remain popular, you may want to have access to a full series ahead of time:

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.
