Christ Church Rockville Lenten Devotion

Deut. 7:17-26 
Titus 3:1-15 
John 1:43-5 

In these divisive and uncertain times, when many of us are feeling deep anxiety about the future, these passages remind us that our fate is not our own and that we should trust in the Lord. Just as He led the Israelites out of Egypt and then delivered them from the enemies that surrounded them, He will lead us through uncertain times if we trust in Him. 

I hope to use the period of Lent as an opportunity to turn away from the “foolish controversies … and arguments and quarrels about the law” that constantly swirl around us these days and to reflect on how I can strengthen my own faith. In Titus we are reminded that the cure for living “in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another” is simply the mercy and love of our Savior. What a world we would live in if we could just follow the simple edict that follows: “To be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.”
