View the post for March 2 for an explanation of my theme for Lent. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; Sunrises are quiet times. Many times you may be the only one at your location. You rise early in expectation of what you will see in the sky. Sometimes the colors fill the whole landscape while other times the sun remains behind dark clouds. There is nothing that you can do to make the colors appear or the sun rise above the clouds. You must just sit and wait in the quiet for the light to transform, little by little, the view before you. .
We need quiet times like these, times to seek God in silence. The poems of Lamentations are from the heart of one who had seen the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple of God. His grief was great there was nothing he could do. So he sat in silence and waited quietly. We all find ourselves in times like this, in the silence of the wilderness. It is hard to sit and wait quietly; but, like the poet ,we can trust our God who comes to us in the wilderness. When we sit quietly with him in the darkness, he will gradually transform our hearts as the sun fills the landscape with beauty. Prayer Lord God We wait on you in the beauty of silence. Fill our hearts today with your love. Amen
