We are seeking the strength of God for our lives in these day of Lent, for these are days of, as the President said, “swift and unrelenting action.” Rapidly changing events press in on us, tempting us to let down, to quit—and that is the intent of the barrage of orders and actions coming out of Washington.

So, I encourage you: Don’t give up for Lent—Find Strength!

Our worship on Sunday mornings and the daily reflections you started to receiving last Wednesday will help us turn our hearts, minds, and spirits to the God who empowers us for the living of these days. The strength of God comes to us in various ways at various times and in various places.

This morning I want to consider how we find strength when in the wilderness.

Scripture Lessons: Deuteronomy 8:1-10; Luke 4:1-13
