Lent Blog Series: Getting Started
Every other day during Lent, there will be a reading and devotional entry posted on our blog. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you may want to do so – either in an RSS NewsReader or through an email subscription. This is the simplest way of being reminded when there is new content here.
You can read this post for more background on the purpose of the readings and devotionals – it’s about “repentance” and the “journey” to Easter.
Here’s a few tips on how to get the most out of this blog series:
- Take note of the “theme” for the day – ask God to impress this principle on your heart through the reading and meditation, but also throughout the next two days.
- Read the Scripture passage for the day. You can read it here at the blog by simply putting your mouse over the passage; but if it’s possible, you might find it helpful to have a Bible close by and open to the passage so you can linger on the verses without distraction.
- Let your meditation be guided by the questions listed. Commit to being honest with yourself and allowing these questions to penetrate deep.
- Make the short, suggested prayer your own by talking honestly with God. Maybe it will be helpful to you to imagine Jesus is next to you during the devotion time, speak honestly to him as you pray.
