The Lenten season consists of 40 days and six Sabbath days. The Sabbath days remind us that there is wisdom in resting in everything we do including our Lenten commitments. A spiritual pause in the story of our life. A quiet moment to take a deep breath before getting back into the ring. So, today take a moment to pause before the Lord. Here are a few verses to think about.
“Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.” – Psalm 36:5-10
“Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this; He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him…” – Psalm 37:3-7
May the Lord who created you, loves you, and provides for you bless you this day and give you rest.
