Yesterday, I addressed the need to make room for God. I challenged each of us to see the Lenten season not so much as a time to give something up but rather a time to make room.
Each Easter season, we are reminded to walk with Jesus – to Jerusalem – into the city for the joyous entry – to the upper room for one last meal – to the garden where he would agonize the coming day – to the hill where he was crucified – to a tomb where he would not be for long – to the sea where he would ascend to the right hand of God. We are encouraged each Easter season to reflect on our need to walk with Jesus daily.
For some, this past year has been a beautiful journey of walking closely with the savior. But for some, this past year has been a struggle to stay focused. We have not been as faithful to staying close as we would have liked. We have allowed other things, some good, some not so good, to distract us.
It is the call of Lent to return to a closer walk – a call to a renewed focus. It is a call to remove the distractions from our lives in order to see the Father clearly.
Today, we commit. Today we set our minds on being more intentional with our daily lives – intentional about making room for God – intentional about not allowing anything to come between us and the Father.
Are you ready?
