So apparently, in order to make lent last 40 days and stretch from Ash Wednesday to Easter, it doesn’t include Sundays… So, post 11.5. Rather than a full blown post, I’m gonna keep it simple.
I was reading Psalm 27, and verse 4 stuck with me:
One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the House of the Lord
all the days if my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple
This is the psalm that ends with ‘Wait for the Lord, be strong, take heart and wait for the Lord’ – good advice, but not easy advice.
It struck me because I am always looking for security, for a plan. But actually, what I need to do is trust in God’s promises. There is comfort there. Living with God, trusting him, seeking him… that brings peace. When things around are out of control, seeking God is a way to hold onto hope and not give in to despair.
