Oh, the first week of Lent. It's much like the first week of January when we make all sorts of resolutions, and we are waiting to break them. When we give up something or something for Lent, it is also very difficult to keep up with.
How has your first week of Lent been? Are you exploring the depths of the wilderness? Have you given up something and found it to be terribly difficult Have you taken on something and found it to be terribly difficult? I encourage you to continue to seek your hearts and to continually practice the presence of God in everything that you do. Seek a “constant conversation” with God as your grow in faith and trust.
I hope you will join us this Sunday at 5 PM for our worship celebration. We will continue with our Lenten journey of mindfulness. This week, we will go to the depths of faith and trust. Trust is something that is very difficult for some of us. For others, it is easy and natural to put your whole trust in someone. God asked Abraham to do that when God told him that he would be the father of many nations. How does our trust of God allow us to be in constant conversation with God? We’ll explore that and bring in some excerpts from Brother Lawrence’s the Practice of the Presence of God.
Last week, there was great evidence of the Spirit's movement. I am fully expecting that to have happened throughout the week, and again when we meet on Sunday. I hope to see you there at 5 PM. Find out more at metrocrossroads.org
