Pastor’s Lenten Blog-Day 10
The sermon I preached this morning was about the Jerusalems in our lives, in the context of human ways that get in the way of God’s ways. In Luke 13: 31 – 35, Jesus lamented over Jerusalem as the city who killed the prophets in pursuit of expedient ways, or ways of maintaining human power instead of depending on God’s power.
We have a tough time giving things over to God, or when we try to give them, we take them back. Bad habits, desires that go against holiness, thinking in the spirit of American positivism that we can accomplish things that are noteworthy or lasting with, perhaps a slight nod to the divine, but not really letting God in. The toughest, but most worthwhile, job we have during our short time on this planet is learning to trust in the Holy. It’s really the only eternal game in town.
God, help me to turn it over to you.
