I just noticed that I slipped in numbering these devotions: Sundays aren't counted in the 40 days of Lent. Taking that into account, now we are back to #11. I've fixed the numbering at http://lentendevotions.blogspot.com
1O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples. 2Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful works. 3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually. 5Remember the wonderful works he has done, his miracles, and the judgements he has uttered, 6O offspring of his servant Abraham, children of Jacob, his chosen ones.THOUGHTS:
There is one line that stuck out to me. "Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually." I have spent quite a while thinking about this one passage and why it sticks out to me. I realized the reason this struck me was how simple it seemed to seek the God, yet at the same time how hard it is to remember.I take from this that our relationships with God can always be better. It is important that we always attempt to put Him into a more central place in our lives. This is something we practice in Lent and need to continue the rest of the year.PRAYER:Heavenly Father, Allow the spiritual practices we develop this Lent, be fruitful to us and others. May these habits continue with us when we move into other seasons of the year. Amen--Thoughts by Christopher Bergtholdt, a Senior at George Mason University involved with LCM-GMU--
