My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
– Ezekiel 33:31-32

Dang.
When push comes to shove, most of us stay the same. We’re in love with the idea of change but not the practice of it.
We love responding to God in meetings. We want impartation. We love the promises and prophecies of God. These all impart an anointing to partner with God.

But, most…

We must remember that our role is not our reward. Jesus is our reward. Roles will begin and they will end. And the only way for us to end well is if in our heart Jesus has increased and we have decreased.

cindystreet:

How can we embrace poverty as a way to God when everyone around us wants to become rich? Poverty has many forms. We have to ask ourselves, “What is my poverty?” Is it lack of money, lack of emotional stability, lack of a loving partner, lack of security, lack of safety, lack of self-confidence?…

Look for yourself and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.
– Jeremiah 9:23-24

Lent

  • spiritual process of recommitting oneself to God
  • self-sacrifice as an expression of love for God
  • we’re saying “you gave up everything for me, and I am giving up something for you”
  • lenten devotion: start the day with prayer
  • 40 day period of self-sacrifice and introspection leading up to Easter
  • recall the time Jesus spent in the desert- fasting, praying, fending off temptation
  • give up bad habits to build good habits; practices that bring me closer to God
