Sunday #1

If your following us during the Lent season you know that the 40 days that we celebrate as this season doesn't include Sunday's. As we have been discussing, Lent season is meant to be a time of sober reflection and repentance. However, on the few Sundays during Lent we use as a time of celebration both privately and corporately. So, I thought it fitting just to share some great scriptures on how good our heavenly father is to us. Feel free to share your own and add a testimony of how God is speaking to your as you fast and pray during this season.

Deuteronomy 7:9
"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands."

I Samuel 2:2
"There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

Psalm 36:7

"How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings."

John 3:16-18a
¹⁶"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,^f]">[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ¹⁸Whoever believes in him is not condemned"

You know this is one of those things that could continue to forever. When I think about the Lord and all He has done for me I become overwhelmed. I think about the season when our first son passed, when I was battling an unknown sickness and even lately with some physical battles and know how close the Lord has been I am lost for words. There is no denying that the Lord is close. He is the Emmanuel "God with us" and for those of you who need His presence, it is there for the taking.

Take time today to lift your eyes to the Lord and just say, thanks! I mentioned some hard seasons of my life, but the fact remains that He has been with me in the silent times just as much. How have you seen the Lord at work in your life? Take time to share and encourage the rest of us with your story of God's hand of provision and mercy in your story.
