Psalm 95
1O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and the dry land, which his hands have formed.
6O come, let us worship and bow down,
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice!
8Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9when your ancestors tested me,
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
10For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they do not regard my ways.’
11Therefore in my anger I swore,
‘They shall not enter my rest.’

FASTING
Far from a behavior-modification program, the discipline of self-denial helps remind us that we belong to God and ultimately, only God can satisfy our desires. It can also be a way of making room and clearing away the "stuff" that can so easily clutter our lives and crowd out space for reflection. Consider abstaining from a particular food, social media, or t.v. and/or consider taking part in our Hungry for Change fast.
So the journey of Lent is an inward journey, but not one that is done alone. It's a journey together.
