As we journey through Lent – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LEVITICUS 25 verses 1-17 – as we consider the perfect sacrifice of Jesus
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer
We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day – to us and to others
We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our world at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
(thank you Church of Scotland for this image)

The Holiness of Offerings
Which words stay with you?
What is God teaching you about Himself?
Then pause to praise and pray to this holy and good God
All your creatures, LORD, will praise you,
and all your people will give you thanks.
They will speak of the glory of your royal power
and tell of your might,
so that everyone will know your mighty deeds
and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
Your rule is eternal,
and you are king forever.
The LORD is faithful to his promises;
he is merciful in all his acts.
He helps those who are in trouble;
he lifts those who have fallen.
And so we bring our sacrifice of praise to you, our God
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflect on the words and images – at the end of your day
and Pray with honest humility in response to this God – our God
People will speak of your mighty deeds,
and I will proclaim your greatness.
They will tell about all your goodness
and sing about your kindness.
The LORD is loving and merciful,
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
He is good to everyone
and has compassion on all he made.
O LORD, hear our evening prayers
As we step into a new month
Together
With You
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
