This #Lenten #Season #wonderwanderwomen arrive at the threshold - a space between what was & what is ready to be reborn #HolyWeek #PalmSunday #Lent #SemanaSanta #Easter #reflection #insight #retreat woawomen.medium.com/holy-week-sh...
#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 89/90:
We need to cling on to the hope of God in both good and ill, appreciating what we have and remembering our own weaknesses. But more importantly, God will keep being at our side if we let it be.
#my #lenten #psalm #today is 88/89:
We need to realise that not only our own need for protection but also our need to protect others; if those in power don't protect the most vulnerable they become targets for others.
Indulgence and hate have no place in the halls of power.
#BenjaminFranklin tried to conquer every #sin on his list. He got them all — except one.

#my #lenten #psalm #today is 87/88:
This is probably one of the hardest psalms; a tortured groan without hope of one in pain. It's easy to just make platitudes but this is a sincere call to seek out others in need and help for them: stopping them from asking "why God?" and instead to be healed.
#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 85/86:
We need to have hope and joy in God and our faith; to do otherwise is to drain us. The psalmist trusts in God's protection, and wether we see it here or in the here-after we will be saved. The hope of youth and the past should not be forgotten no matter what.
#yesterday's #daily #lenten #psalm was 82/83:
* We need to find peace or get lost in the rush of the world around us.
* God is present in nature, don't ruin it.
* We need to embrace the holy presence of God or be lost.
* Things great and small both matter, we just need to pay attention.
#my #lenten #psalm is 83/84:
* We become like God only in living virtue.
* Virtue breeds virtue
* We must appreciate what good we have.
* God will save us in this life or the next.

Take a #Lenten Journey:
Confession→ "The Evil That Men Do"
Exposure of hypocrisy→ "Holy Smoke"
Recognition of systemic evil→ "For the Greater Good of God"
Witnessing suffering→ "Paschendale"
Deep reflection→ "The Legacy"
Final reckoning→ "Hallowed Be Thy Name"

If something causes suffering, can it really be “for the good of God”?
I'm 56 today. Heiser (friend, RIP), Middleton (on my doctoral committee) & Boyd (my pastor) have comforted me.
But, I NEED @brianzahnd.bsky.social insights on my #IronMaiden #Lenten Devotional

In this 2012 #Lenten blog, I wondered about what we mean – as Christian seekers – when we discuss in whom or in what we trust.

#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 67/68:
* learn from the past or be doomed to repeat it's mistakes.
* We should appreciate what we do have, even if it's just having a chance at a meal.
* Our relationship with God is based on our actions and not just being in an in group or not.
#TBT In this 2018 #Lenten blog, I was musing about the following: How might we curate confidence in one another, while letting go of our egos, & so bear light into shadowed times?

#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 65/66
* We cannot face down God, power does us nothing in the end.
* God could destroy us in a single moment but has not in mercy; show such mercy to others and appreicate it.
* Sometime we need short and simple messages to focus our minds.
#my #lenten #psalm #today is 73/74:
* We need to try and make the World better, not worst.
* We should try to align our cause with God's, not just assume they are aligned.
* We need to be brave for when the World looks like it's against us.
* Good will win even if doesn't seem so right now.
#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 71/72
* We need to act for the good of others and for the future if we want to see a better world.
* God is over all, not a select few.
* Good rulers protect the weakness of their society.
* Good has no border or limit if we keep fighting for it.
#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 70/71:
* Use our time and lives for good and not evil as that is always a waste.
* We must have patience and endurance as we have to hold on as we live our lives.
* Just because you're physically weaken doesn't mean you don't have potential to do good.
#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 69/70:
* It's not what the quantity of faith or action we show in gratitude but the quality.
* Always be thankful for what good we have, even if it's small things.
* Find time for faith, even if in fleeting moments, or it will be drowned.
#my #daily #lenten #psalm is 68/69:
* Evil begets evil; best to nip it the bud.
* What is in our heart during prayer matters more than any gift.
* Even good things like water can be misused or bad in excess.
* Be grateful for any good thing you have.
#my #lenten #psalm is 67/68:
* Learn from the past to be better.
* We cannot change everything, but we can appreciate the good that is around us.
* We need to encourage hope in our communities or we all lose.
* God will save us in this world or the next.
Keep believing. Stay grateful. Never be scared to let your faith show. Not because it is easy, but because it is true. #ChristianFaith #Cricket #India #Kerala #Lenten #Lent #SanjuSamson #T20 #Unbeaten

#my #lenten #psalm is 66/67:
* Simplicity and brevity can be helpful, but also can leave a lot out (#irony).
* We need to have a joyous faith not only to appreaciate the good we've been given but also not fall into jaded arrogance.
* Love has be shown to us; we should be thankful ans share it.

#my #lenten #psalm is 64/65:
* We must be thankful for all the good things we have got, not just the wicked suffering.
* All things come from God and must go back - make sure your harvest is one of virtue.
* God is for us all, not just one group; always act with such love.
#my #lenten #psalm #today is 63/64:
* Evil words spread evil in a population, do not start them but instead stop them.
* Just as every dollar of weaponry is wasted civic potential, so is every thought of tyranny or betrayal.
* We must learn to be better from painful events, not to be worse.
