Second Sunday of Lent

Today’s Readings

We have to be willing to allow
ourselves to be used as vessels.
As I reflect on today’s reading it often takes me to the place where we decide to accept Christ as our savior. It is similar to when Abraham makes a covenant with God. Through our journeys with the Lord, we have to have faith that God will cover and guide us. We have to know that he will be our light in the darkness, but that comes with some responsibility. We have to be obedient to the word of God and what he would have us do to get what he has for us. Abraham listened and inherited a land that will go down through generations.

I often relate this to how we live now. It is important to be in the word and to pray to hear the word of God. We have to be willing to allow ourselves to be used as vessels. Through this process of living on earth, we have to know everyone surrounding us will not have the same will to live the same. We have to cover those who are our brothers and sisters so we may inherit whatever God has for us. This all starts with love and ends with love. Check your heart today and see if you are in the will of God.
