Lent Reflections Day 10: Listen

Pastor Tiffany Hollums decided that each day during Lent, she would choose a word to prayerfully reflect upon. A volunteer suggested reading the lectionary texts and then choosing a word that stood out from those passages. She is sharing those reflections here and hopes to inspire our readers to join in her journey.

Readings:

• Psalm 121

• Isaiah 51:4-8

• Luke 7:1-10

Reflection:

Isaiah 51: 4-5. “ Listen to me, my people,

and give heed to me, my nation,

for a teaching will go out from me

and my justice for a light to the peoples.”

LORD, Help me to listen rather than speak.

Teach me and use me for your purposes.

Let your justice rain down

Help us to listen to you and to hear you.
