Lent | Reading 28
The season of Lent provides a time for us to contemplate the depth and passion of our commitment to Christ as we approach Holy Week and Easter. Forty days are set aside as a sacred time to remember the forty days of fasting and prayer that Jesus spent in the wilderness before beginning His earthly ministry.
Today’s readings at Lent:
When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you.
Isaiah 43:2 GNT
Isaiah 43:2 NASB
Isaiah 43:2 NIV
Isaiah 43:2 MESSAGE
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
