Monthly Review: Feb 2024

Praises & Highlights

The number forty throughout Scripture indicates a time of testing, trial, preparation, purification and renewal. The floodgates of heaven were opened for forty days and forty nights; Israelites wandered the desert for forty years; Jesus was tempted after fasting forty days and forty nights.

The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything

Deuteronomy 2:7

The Season of Lent is 40 Days of fasting, prayer, preparation and reflection. This year I’m surrendering my Martha inclinations and trying to embrace Mary’s heart for listening and meditating on His words. The past few years have been a time of testing that has challenged workaholism and the identity that I’ve placed on work. It’s much harder for me to sit and wait upon the Lord than to do something. When I try to meddle it doesn’t work. God is doing something in my life that I don’t fully understand and I’ve asked God why certain things have happened to me. God didn’t take away the wilderness, but promises to be with me and bless the work of my hands. In spite of stepping away from full-time work, I have not lacked anything.
