 Lenten Devotions

Wednesday, April 5, 2023

4/5/2023

 
Read: Hebrews 12:1-3
 
               Distractions around us lead us from following Christ.  Each of us has things in our lives that are really important and yes they are important in a sense, but nothing, I mean nothing, is more important than our relationship with our Lord, who suffered way more than we could even imagine.  
 
               We think that what we go through is suffering - puh-lese! We must realize that what Jesus went through, all of the pain, humiliation, utter desolation, and abject loneliness only to make our lives better.  What?! Huh?!  He knew! He just knew that it would make all of the difference to us.  While our trials are challenging to us, we must know that Jesus saves us.  And as the song goes
 
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God.
 
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.
by Andrae Edward Crouch
 
That is what we must do “Trust.”  Faith is hard.
 
Lord give me strength to really trust you.  I know that you sacrificed it all for me.  I feel unworthy but that is the point, isn’t it? Thank you for being you and loving me.  Amen.
