A Reflection for the Third Sunday of Lent By Amanda Svejda Lectionary reading for 3/12/2023: Exodus 17:1-7,Romans 5:1-11,John 4:5-42...

We grumble when we get caught up in the past (which we can’t change) and the future (which we can’t control). What does God offer us today?

I wonder what dividing walls we have erected that keep those who are seeking God relegated to being on the outside looking in.

For many, Lent is a season of inward focus and reflection, taking an inventory of our soul, of our discipleship, of our lives.

Lent is a season of intentional reflection, lament, and preparation. Whether experiencing the joys of the mountain-top or looking to rest.

Psalm 90.1-17 takes us back to the time when Israel was not yet a nation in the Promised Land. A time with no Temple and no King.
