This Sunday At Peace
Scripture: Luke 4:1-13
Into the wilderness we go!
I say it every year: Lent is my favorite church season (Advent is a close second- I enjoy a healthy time of anticipation), and the wilderness has always been the place I find God.
As line #1 of this note implies, Sunday brings us the story of Jesus heading into the wilderness. Into the unknown. Into the fear. Into the vastness where nothing is predictable and the only thing you've got any control over is yourself.
LOL. Joke's on me for thinking any moment of life is not the wilderness.
We are living in it, and I know I'm not alone in feeling more afraid right now than I have at most other times.
It's a poignant thing that we now get to enter this season of Lent, of coming back to life, together.
Hand in hand, facing the wild unknown, together we will seek the wonder out there that's just waiting to be found.
