IN GOD’S HANDS

In our hands a baseball bat produces little, but in the hands of a star baseball player like MVP Albert Pujols, a bat is worth millions of dollars producing hits and runs.
In our hands a golf club is peacefully enjoyed in an outdoor recreational setting.  In the hands of professional players, like Tiger Woods, the golf club produces millions of dollars of contest winning revenue.
In our hands a walking staff might support us as we meander up a hill or down a trail.  In the hands of Moses a staff was used to split the waters of the Red Sea so God’s people could escape their enemies on dry ground (Exodus 14).
In our hands a sling shot might fling a rock wildly through the air.  In the hands of a shepherd named David a sling shot slew a mighty giant of a foe (I Samuel 17).

Spiritual Disciplines are the daily and rigorous activities we do that strengthen our faith and our character, thus drawing us near to Christ.
Lent is a special time to practice these spiritual disciplines because at this time we focus on walking with Jesus as He journeys to Jerusalem and the Cross that awaits Him there.  We have listed in the bulletin and last month’s newsletter various spiritual disciplines one could employ while walking with Christ to Calvary.
