Community and the Psalms
March 12, 2024 | By Sharla Moody YDS ‘25
Some writing, take the Psalms, is meant to be read and understood together, and, while we may not ever be able to fully understand the burdens of another, we might turn to a communal interpretation of the Psalms to tend to the garden of God’s people.
Grappling with Gratitude
March 11, 2024 | By Yoska Guta TD ‘25
Grumbling in the face of what we might consider to be negative aspects of life is nothing new, but how should we posture our hearts? This Lenten season, let us be a people of enduring and maturing faith as we open ourselves with gratitude.
The Lord Our God, the Lord is One
March 8, 2024 | By Katherine Becking Cornell ‘25
We can be quick to credit our successes to our own hard work, forgetting that God is the one who enables us to work at all. God actively sustains the world, but in our sinfulness, we are too nearsighted to see His hand behind everything around us. This season of Lent, let us move towards wisdom, to acknowledge the superiority of God’s words to our own and to rightly credit Him for all of our victories.
Remember, Oh Forgetting Heart
March 6, 2024 | By Annina Bradley Cornell ‘26
Because of our forgetfulness, God repeatedly calls us to actively practice remembering His faithfulness. During this season of Lent, let us extend this practice of remembrance to other aspects of our lives, including meditating on how God has been faithful to us personally.
Embracing Grace
March 5, 2024 | By Hannah DeBord BF ‘25
It can be tumultuous to listen to God’s commands and not find immediate answers, but, often, all we need to do is open our eyes to His grace. This season of Lent, let us let us humbly accept the indelible grace that Christ has given us through his sacrifice.
The God of the Universe
March 4, 2024 | By Maddie Bartels TC ‘26
So beautiful is it to think of Jesus froclicking among the galaxies in our universe, experiencing creation in more dimensions than we could hope for. This Lent season, let us place our hope in the God of the universe who has hung the stars in their place and gives light to our blind eyes.
