Good Friday

Psalm 22 Verses 14-15

 14 I am poured out like water,
    and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
    it has melted within me.
15 My mouth[d] is dried up like a potsherd,
    and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
    you lay me in the dust of death.

Jesus was poured out like water, bones broken and he thirsted. I’s as if the Psalmist knew what was coming. He went willingly to his death. There were other options. He could hae made other choices…. but he chose this way. He choose to die.

Now we need to show that it matters… . we understand the sacrifice. We know what it means. AMEN

Prayer: Loving God, you understood our need to see you in human terms. Thank you for his gift to us. AMEN

Psalm 139 Verse

    23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Sometimes our thoughts are restless. Sometimes we are so sure of things and at other times sure of nothing. It is easy for our faith to waver back and forth. Sometimes we feel such peace and know that God is with us. Other times we feel lost and adrift…fearful and alone.

You, Lord understand our ups and downs. Help us to understand that faith is not related to feelings. Faith is not a noun it is a verb. It is an action word. It is more about who I am than how I feel.

Prayer: Thank you for forgiving our times of doubt and fear. Remind us that feelings get in the way of faith. Faith is about how we live rather than how we feel.
