The Fourth Week of Lent – Monday
by Jill Duffield, Presbyterian Outlook editor
ISAIAH 12:2
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.
How often do we think about what it means that God is our salvation? From what and for what are we saved? Salvation is one of those churchy words that we often use without considering what it means or why it matters. What difference does it make to you that you have been saved by God?
God who saves us, who is our strength and shield, our hope and haven, your coming to us and rescuing us from sin and isolation, separation and estrangement, frees us to live without fear and with divine purpose. We thank you for loving us enough to intervene on our behalf so that we can live fully for you. Amen.
