Lent Is Direction
February 18, 2024
Bible
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Psalm 32:8
Baldwin
Be careful what you set your heart upon,’ someone once said to me, ‘for it will surely be yours.
Thought
On the journey of faith there are moments where people lose their bearings, and in these moments they have stop and check the compass guiding them. For some they are guided by their heart and burning passions, and for they are guided by wisdom from the stories others. These things recenter them and help them find direction, and the same is true for practices that are done in the Lenten season. Lent is a time where Christians intentionally stop on the journey of faith and find direction through prayer, Scripture, fasting, and repentance. These things like signs point us onward to a destination, and that is Christ Whose death and resurrection lie ahead of us.
