Week 4: Focus. This week, we will look at what it
takes to focus on God’s blessings in our lives. God blesses us with gifts of
religious practice and observance, worship and study, help and community, and
rest. How can we continue to focus on these blessings not just during Lent but
throughout our lives? How can we keep the busyness of life from taking away our
focus?
Read: Exodus 12:21-28, Luke 22:7-20
Reflect: Statutes, customs, and laws unify
people, help them cooperate, and form the shape of their group identity. God
claims the Israelites and attempts to unify them with his commands and
observances. Passover was vital to Jews in the time of Jesus and is still
important to Jews today. Which observances, such as Holy Communion, help you
identify yourself as a Christian? Which ones help you feel like you are God’s,
His chosen, His child?
Write: Here or privately.
Recite: The Lord bless you and keep you; the
Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up
his countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
