from Acts 17:16-27
The season of Lent is a time of reflection. It is an opportunity to examine our lives before God and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal to us those things that are hindering our relationship with God and with those around us…and it is an opportunity to invite God to go to work in our lives…the hope which makes all of this possible is the Cross of Jesus toward which we are journeying.
But what if Lent wasn’t just about seeking forgiveness for and repentance from our sin…what if God was able to take our mess and redeem it? What if it’s not just about doing away with something, but about God taking our lives and turning them into something beautiful for His Glory?
Following last week, the next step in our journey toward God redeeming our mess, is to begin to unpack how we got into this place to begin with.
What are the things you grasp for or cling to other than God or God’s best for you…what are those things you reach for that end up leaving the void within empty?
