As we journey through Lent – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LEVITICUS 22 verses 1-13 – 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)
