Devotional 3-22-11

Read Psalm 95 and Romans 5:1-11

Psalm 95 is an invitation to worship God.
A hardened heart is like a hard lump of clay.
There is nothing you can do to restore it.
Do not lose your faith in God; don't be so stubborn and set in your way that you cannot return to God.
This doesn't happen overnight; it is a result of several choices to disregard God's will.
What is keeping you from God's ultimate blessing?
Do you have an ungrateful heart?
Are you worshiping or submitting to Him?
Are you testing God because of stubborn doubts?
During this Lenten season remember that God sent Jesus Christ to die for us not because we were good enough, but because He Loves us. Whenever you feel uncertain about God's love for you, remember that He loved you even before you turned to Him, Christ took our sin upon himself and took our punishment by dying on the cross.

Dear Lord,
Be with us during this season of Lent,
to lead us in the direction to follow you.
Come into our heart to prepare us to follow your direction
to do your work and to welcome You in, and to keep
our faith alive.
Amen,

Melanie Herr
