Today brings quiet reflection.
The desire to seek God’s face.
The passage speaks of St. Clare of Assisi, who spent her life in prayer and simplicity, seeking the face of Jesus in silence and love.
This is what we are called to do today. To find some quiet time.
To sit and look, with longing, to see the face of God.
I’ve said throughout this journey that I believe we are exactly where God needs us to be at any given point.
And today is no different.
At the time of this writing, I’m about a week behind the actual days of Lent.
I was traveling and didn’t have the quiet space or opportunity to keep up with the passages and my writings, so I’ve been trying to catch up ever since.
Yet today, even though my readings are behind, the message is right on time.
The passage asks for us to “Sit before Christ—physically in the Eucharist, spiritually in prayer.”
I’m part of a women’s Bible study group at my church called Walking With Purpose. It’s a beautiful study and it has changed my spiritual life and relationship with God in ways I never expected and cannot fully describe in a short blog post…but here’s why I mention it…
Tonight is our Lenten Retreat which includes…time in Adoration.
Tonight, just as the passage calls us to do… I literally have the opportunity to “Sit before Christ—physically in the Eucharist, spiritually in prayer.”
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Once again…God is working. He is with me on this Lenten journey. And he’s proving it.
Even though I was held up on these writings, I’m right where I needed to be to feel his presence.
God’s timing is always perfect.
Heavenly Father, I stand in awe of Your majesty and the beauty of Your holiness. My heart rests in the wonder of Your face. Amen.
