Let the Lenten season begin! Lent is a 40-day time of reflection where Christians consider the sacrifice of the Cross. It is a serious time meant for inward self-reflection putting our focus upon Christ—who gave His life so that we might experience life now and forever at its best.
Many Christians traditionally make a sacrifice during this period. This year I am giving up all fast food. I am already craving the taste of a Sonic cheeseburger and tots.
My sacrifice is so small it is almost insulting compared to His. But I will do it with a happy heart knowing my faithfulness makes Him smile.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
He leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to His name.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the LORD
forever. (Psalm 23, NLT)
