Can we, too?

It is my intent to put up a mini discussional/devotional each day of Lent. But, I may fall of that pace. I'd ask anyone who reads this to keep me accountable to it, however. Lent is a time for us to reflect and grow, and I feel that with each day bringing a new discussional/devotional and a prayer combining our program theme and Lent we can accomplish each of those in a better way. If you have a discussional/devotional for Lent that you'd like me to include, send it to me via e-mail at vicepresident@sigmatheta.org

Sometimes, I look at what Jesus did and I'm amazed. Blown away. Overwhelmed. I find it impossible to match, and sometime impossible to comprehend, too. I wonder just how much of it I can match, emulate, or provide in some way to those in need. Not just in miracles, but in love, in sacrifice, in wisdom ... in so many areas that I can't possibly name them all.

Of course, if you join me in reading Matthew 17, you'll see that the Disciples had the same awe and the same doubt. They were unable to match what they'd seen from Christ.

Of course, if you join me in reading Matthew 17, you'll see that Christ himself gives us the key to it all: Faith. And not that much faith. We just have to match the size of a mustard seed.

So as we're reflect upon all Christ has done for us, his march towards the cross, and all He guides us to do, remember, it only takes Faith to emulate that in our world today.

Please, help me ponder how we might increase our Faith, that the world might marvel at the acts of God in our lives, through our service, love, acts, and words.

Join me in this prayer:

Sovereign Lord,

You amaze me
You are beyond me
In wisdom
In power
In love

I ask, Lord
That you help me build my faith
That the world might see more of you
Through me

Bring me to atonement
Bring me to you
Bring me to love

Amen
