Midweek Mission Moment

FROM JANE DAVIS…
I am praying for you this morning…
 
We have just survived a very dreary week in our part of Texas. Every morning, and throughout the days, a dense cloud draped itself right outside our windows. The temps barely got above 30. All we wanted to do was to light a fire, curl up under a soft blanket and vegetate.
 
Not productive. Not energizing. Not uplifting.
And then it happened. 
 
Everything changed. The biggest blazing sun burst forth over the far horizon. 
Dreary skies were now cobalt blue. A few colorful clouds dappled the sky. Temps climbed to mid-70’s. 
 
Ahhhh…a new day has dawned. Everything looks radiant. Smells fresh. Feels light and airy. 
 
Hope has, once again, crested our horizon. 
 
Thank You, Jesus, for this visual of how you carry us through the doldrums, and renew, refresh and restore us to a brilliant new day of hope.
 
Yes, the dreary days may return for a time…but we have the promise of the gift of springtime, bringing new life and hope.
 
“Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth; and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the lord will be your rear guard.”
Isaiah 58:8

Lent is a Season of Hope

What is Ash Wednesday?
 
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Forty days from today, not including Sundays, will be Easter. On this day, we are encouraged to acknowledge what needs to change in our lives so that we can come to a fuller life in the Risen Lord at Easter. When we receive ashes on our foreheads, we remember who we are: “From dust we came, and to dust we will return.” We remember that we are members of the body of Christ and the ashes are signs that we are all in this sin business together, and the difference between the good in us and the bad in us is sometimes frightfully thin. We often fall short of the Faith we claim. We have treated people as things, and we have treated things as if they were valuable people. And so, we look into our hearts and pray: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in me.”


Lent is a season that reminds us to repent and get our lives centered, our priorities straight, and our hearts clean. This holy season gives us a new chance to say “yes” to God and his plan for us. Lent is a season of hope and with ashes on our foreheads and hope in our hearts, we can go out into the world to love and to serve. For it is by God’s grace in Christ, we do not have to stay the same!  
 
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10
