Lenten Devotions in Hard Economic Times

FIFTEENTH DAY OF LENT 
               MARCH 5
  
 Isaiah 55: 2
 Psalm 63: 3, 5
 
 
 
Listen carefully to Me,
And eat what is good,
And delight yourselves in rich foods.
 
Drafted in Your image,
Defined in Your terms,
We have inherited
Your metabolism.
Your makeup is our makeup.
That which makes You
Who You are,
Makes us who
You intend us
To be.
 
When we take in the
Power and brilliance,
Outlandish exuberance,
And full-tilt extravagance
Of Your love,
The chemical reaction sparks:
We live, we grow, we create.

Truly Your steadfast love is sweeter than life… 
 
In Your presence,
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast.
