Day 6 of Lent
Thank you for joining us today, Tuesday February 24th, the 6th day of Lent. Also the feast day of St. Matthias the Apostle!
TODAY’S BIBLE VERSE:
HOSEA 6:3:
LET US KNOW; LET US PRESS ON TO KNOW THE LORD; HIS GOING OUT IS SURE AS THE DAWN; HE WILL COME TO US AS THE SHOWERS, AS THE SPRING RAINS THAT WATER THE EARTH.
Our days have become increasingly busy. I don’t know one person who would say their life isn’t busy. Calendars fill up faster than this snow is melting outside, making it hard to fit new things on the calendar a month out — let alone a week or day out. When chaos catapults into our busy plans, throwing us off, we instinctively allocate more energy and time to get back on the “everyday routine” tracks.
How often does our prayer life get thrown into chaos? A lack of planning, distraction, or an uncertainty of where to begin is typically the culprit. All to often we let these stumbling blocks overcome our will to pray. But just as we put more energy into staying on schedule with our daily routines, we must likewise put an equal amount of energy and effort into staying on schedule in our prayer life. We must “press on to know the Lord”. This lent I encourage you to allocate more energy into your prayer life. It seems the more time and energy I put into increasing my prayer life, the more time and energy I have to carry on with the grocery list of my everyday to-do’s.
For “He will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” All we have to do is press on.
