Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 5 (1st Sunday)

Staying focus during Lent can be hard.  Sacrifice is hard because we have a burning desire not to deny ourselves anything.  In reality we are tempted by what we sacrifice.  Whatever you decided to give up or add in your life for Lent, you will be tempted in many ways.  Keep your eyes on the goal and when temptation comes continue to pray to get through it.  The key is not to give up.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 4

As I prepared myself for this 4th day of Lent, I'm reminded how amazing God is.  It's in the morning hours when everything is quiet and calm.  This is the time when we take deep cleansing breaths before we rush into the rest of our day.  Today reflect on the amazing things God has done in your life.


 So Amazing - Ricky Dillard and New G

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 3

On this third day of Lent habits are hard to break.  There maybe a habit you decided to give up for Lent and just for a second or two you went back to your regular routine.  If it does happen don't give up keep trying, keep pressing and keep moving.  Sacrifice is not easy.  We do fall down.  So get back up and start over again.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015, Day 1 - Ash Wednesday

Today is the first day of Lent.  The 40 days leading up to Easter.  Easter is our time of celebration as Christians as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Did you know that Mardi Gras is rooted in Christianity as well.  Yes, we know people use it as a time of partying and drinking, but there is more to it.  Check out this site to learn more about this season of the Christian Year by visiting http://www.crivoice.org/cylent.html.

This site contains the daily readings for Lent which I will post on a daily basis.  I do hope and pray that you will reflect, fast, sacrifice and repent seriously on this 40 day journey.  These 40 days can be a spiritual renewal if you truly submit yourself to God.
