Love Goes the Distance - Day 15 – Sunday, March 7th
Scripture Reading - Psalm 19; focus on 19:7-10
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
Wake us up, gracious Lord, by the message of your coming, and help us, in our hearts and our lives, to be ready. - N.T. Wright
Lenten Sonnet by Andrew Peterson
This morning I woke and opened the shade, saw frost in the shadows, dew in the light, steam hovering up through each gleaming blade of grass. The stone arch caught the sun.
The sight of it all, first thing in the morning, wakes a contentment with the world. I feel young knowing the slow turn of the planet rakes a bright edge of infant light, a tune sung as long as the world has spun:
New again, new again, the mercies of God are new each morning, and the morning moves with the spin of the old earth and greets each eye on cue –Mercy, speeding west from here to the plain to the peaks, to the sea, then back again.
Focused Prayer – Today, we are praying for a revival of the Holy Spirit in our nation that would lead to unity and healing in our country in the power of Jesus Christ.
Weekly Fast – Social Media and Internet – This week take time to put the screens away, avoid the lure of social media, and not access the internet unless needed for work or schooling. Let your mind, heart, and spirit detox from the constant barrage that is the multi-media world we currently live in.
