Read Isaiah 6:1-8.
When you have been touched by God – really, deeply touched by God – you are eager to let others know. Isaiah came face-to-face with the realization that he needed God’s touch, and he received it. And for him the transition was from “Woe is me” to “Send me.” There is an old Bill Gaither song that uses this imagery: “He touched me and oh the joy that floods my soul. Something happened, and now I know. He touched and made me whole.”  How has God touched you?

  1. During this time of crisis, I feel like the Lord is calling us even more to go out and spread the good news of life in Jesus. Because of my faith, I have such peace during this season that the Lord knows the plans and He will bring us through this. The timing of this season being right in the middle of Lent and upcoming Holy Week makes me feel even stronger about getting out the good word of Christ.
    People need Jesus more than ever before and we're about to celebrate the day that He gave everything for us. What a time to proclaim this good news!

  2. Ever since my husband died, I've been so comforted by the fact that because we believe, this is not the end of the story, this world is not all there is. We are called to be in this world but not of it, a light instead of getting dragged down by the darkness.

    Easier said than done some days, but I do believe these times are meant to mature and refine our faith, and get us to examine what we really believe our lives are all about.

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read Proverbs 3:5-6. Some of the greatest wisdom is found in these verses. And some of the greatest understanding comes out of reflecting upon the question: How am I to trust God in the midst of uncertainty? How am I to completely and fully depend, not upon myself, but on the provision, the peace, and the protection of God?     How might you acknowledge God today so that the path of God might be clear for you in the days ahead?
