DEVOTIONS:    Joel 2:12-19  English Standard Version (ESV)

Return to the Lord

¹² "Yet even now," declares the Lord,
    "return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
¹³     and rend your hearts and not your garments."
Return to the Lord your God,
    for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
    and he relents over disaster.
¹⁴ Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
    and leave a blessing behind him,
a grain offering and a drink offering
    for the Lord your God?

¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion;
    consecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
¹⁶     gather the people.
Consecrate the congregation;
    assemble the elders;
gather the children,
    even nursing infants.
Let the bridegroom leave his room,
    and the bride her chamber.

¹⁷ Between the vestibule and the altar
    let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, "Spare your people, O Lord,
    and make not your heritage a reproach,
    a byword among the nations.^[a]
Why should they say among the peoples,
    'Where is their God?'"

The Lord Had Pity

¹⁸ Then the Lord became jealous for his land
    and had pity on his people.
¹⁹ The Lord answered and said to his people,
"Behold, I am sending to you
    grain, wine, and oil,
    and you will be satisfied;
and I will no more make you
    a reproach among the nations.

 

Do you ever feel yourself slipping away from God?  Maybe you just don't feel the faith like you used to?  Maybe you're as far from excited about church worship and fellowship as one can be.  Maybe you're guilt is beginning to overwhelm you and you are finding yourself sinking deeper and deeper into sin and depressions, guilt and shame. 

 

The prophet Joel has a message for you today.  Here it is in one word "REPENT'!  There is no better way to say it.  Repentance is simply turning back to God.  It is turning back to Him in confession, in a change of heart, and in a change of mind.  It is a willingness, direct from the Holy Spirit, to surrender to God and let Him take you over. 

 

This is exactly what Ash Wednesday is for.  It is to get rid of the old habits, the stuff that is harming you, the bad attitudes toward others, the bad attitudes toward God, the bad attitudes toward yourself, and face them head on, putting them at the feet of Jesus! 

 

When we do this, Jesus has promised that he will forgive us, create a new heart in us, and give us rest.  He will not treat us as our sins deserve, but He will give us more grace! 

 

This too is what Ash Wednesday and Lent is all about.  It is a time of somber mourning over sin, turning back to God, and then resting in His grace. 

 

Here's my message to you.  REPENT!  If you have been skipping church for who knows how long, turn to God, come to worship, and be refreshed.  If you are holding bitterness and anger against someone turn from it, turn to them and be reconciled.  If you are in a really bad habit, whether it be eating too much, not exercising enough, or simply wasting your time flipping through channel every night, turn from it, resolve, with the power of the Holy Spirit, to do better, and get to it!  PRAY without ceasing!  Above all, TURN TO JESUS AND REST!

 

Prayer: during this season of Lent, which begins today, help me to return to You and rest in Your arms.  Amen.

DEVOTION: Psalm 32:1-7English Standard Version (ESV)

Blessed Are the Forgiven

A Maskil^[a] of David.

32 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
    whose sin is covered.
² Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

³ For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up^[b] as by the heat of summer.Selah

⁵ I acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

⁶ Therefore let everyone who is godly
    offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
    they shall not reach him.
⁷ You are a hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from trouble;
    you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah

 

Are you harboring guilt in your heart?  Are your bones, like David's, wasting away because of it?  Are you putting a good face on the outside, but is it tearing you up inside?  Are your relationships becoming strained, because you can't bring yourself to confess and ask for forgiveness? 

 

Have I got a deal for you?  It's called LENT.  The word lent actually is a word for springtime, a time of new beginnings.  That's what the season of Lent does for us.  It gives us a chance to get all the old sin that's weighing us down and causing us heartburn off of our chest so that we can start anew.  It gives us opportunity to "confess our transgressions to the Lord" knowing that "He forgave the iniquity of my sin" on the cross 2,000 years ago. 

 

 

Satan doesn't want you to participate in Lent.  He wants you to think that it is too somber, too old fashioned, and too boring.  He doesn't want you to have those ashes put on your forehead.  He doesn't want you to confess your sins or turn from them, because he knows that if you do, you'll be freed from them.  That's the last thing he wants. 

 

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday.  Come to supper and have a great time of fellowship with all your fellow Christians!  Then stay for worship where you can confess your sin and receive forgiveness, where you can hear God's Word, eat His body, and drink his blood.  Spend this season of Lent throwing off all that extra baggage that's weighing you down, and receive the refreshment and rest from the Lord that you so desperately need. 

 

Prayer: Lord, make this season of Lent a time of rest and refreshment from you for me.  Amen.
