Holy Saturday

Psalm 22 Verses 1-2

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so far from saving me,
    so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
    by night, but I find no rest.[b]

Holy Saturday , a bleak day. Jesus is in the grave. The disciples have gone away. They think it is all over. Nothing will ever be the same. God has forsaken them.

We are lucky. We know the end of the story so it is hard for us to feel what they were feeling. It’s hard to imagine the end of all hope. But God hs a plan.

Prayer: God our hope, support us when we can’t see the new day coming. Be with us in the bleak times and show us the way to the light. AMEN

Psalm 84 Verses 5-7

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;
    the autumn rains also cover it with pools.[d]
7 They go from strength to strength,
    till each appears before God in Zion.

I know one thing for sure. I can’t depend on y own strength. I like to think of myself as being able to manage most things but the older I get the more I realize that are limits to what I can do. That’s not something I want to admit… but it’s true. There is, however, no limit to Gods’ strength. God can manage anything if we just let him. The problem is that we keep trying to do it alone. It would be much better to depend, for our strength, on someone whose strength is infinite.

Prayer: God whose power is infinite, give us strength in our weakness. Let us turn to you and rely on your compassion. AMEN

Psalm 37 Verses 3-4

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

We forget that God has promised to provide for us. W have so little trust. Just like the people Moses led, we grumble and fuss. We don’t want to eat manna we want steak. We want what we desire not what is good for us. How many of us eat more than we need and all the wrong things.

God will provide what we need….the important word being NEED. There is a big difference between wants and needs.

Prayer: God of plenty, you will supply all our needs. We thank you for all that you have given us. May we continue to praise your name for the goodness our our lives. AMEN
