My Vision of You Deserving Our All-Lent 29, 2020

Prayer Focus: Giving God 100%

Lord Jesus, in an uncertain world, we give You thanks and praise that You are our firm foundation! Even when it seems like our investments are taking a beating and we’re being quarantined from the work we love doing or work You provide for us to have money to live on, our labor in You is never fruitless or pointless. It is never in vain. Alone in our homes, we can still share the Gospel with people in a variety of ways. I thank You for the Internet and technology and social media…all of which can be used for good and advancement of Your Kingdom. Thank You that these tools–in the hands of godly people–can be powerful witnessing mechanisms! Give us strength and power, indeed, give us words to say … just as You have told us You will do. May Your holy angels camp around us and guard us from discouragement and arrows of despair launched by our adversary during these uncertain days. Use this time in our lives to remind us that You are the Giver of everything. You own everything and therefore all we really are boils down to receivers and stewards of Your goodness, mercy, and provision. Help us to be grateful and to look no farther than daily bread … and dependence upon You. Give us Your eyes to see the fields are white for harvest. Send us into Your harvest fields to give You our all! May we love our neighbors with our time and provisions, and in doing so, point the way to You and to life everlasting. Amen.

If you’re already signed up on my Home Page sidebar to receive posts, you’ll get the 2020 Lent Devotionals automatically. Or you can “Like” Seminary Gal on Facebook and they’ll be delivered to your Facebook news feed. If you haven’t signed up, today is a great day to do so. 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.
