SUSTAIN US LORD!

SUSTAIN US LORD!


Are you getting ready this Lent
For Jesus?
Are you getting
ALL REVVED UP?


Are you getting into
PRAYER-fasting-and alms giving?
DOING all the things=
To get READY=for the Lord


“I am the LORD” Isaiah 55:11


Maybe we are TIRED
Of a list of rules=
Maybe we are just
Trying to FREE OURSELVES
For the coming
Of the Lord


But today we read
Leviticus=which is LEGISLATIVE=
And reminds us NOT
To just skip
OVER the rules


Leviticus reminds us to
DIG DEEPER into the
Rules of God
And to be HOLY


“The Lord
Said to Moses
'Speak to
The entire assembly
Of Israel
And say to them


'BE HOLY
Because I the Lord
Your God=am HOLY'” Leviticus 19:1-2


Lord=we PRAY to you
To SUSTAIN us this LENT=
That we do follow you-
Because you are indeed HOLY


Help us to pray=fast=
And give alms giving=
And to be HOLY
Just like you


“Your ways God
Are HOLY


What God
Is as great
As our God?” Psalm 77:13


“But the Lord Almighty
Will be exalted
By his justice


And the HOLY GOD
Will be proved HOLY
By his righteous acts” Isaiah 5:16


The laws of Leviticus
And the Lord
CAN be far more demanding
Than we realize


STRETCHING out our commitment
To life
And to ONE ANOTHER


Four times today=
In Leviticus
We hear the proclamation
“I AM THE LORD”


HE is the Lord
And we are not
He is holy=and may we
Follow him during
This Lenten season


“Therefore I urge you
Brothers and sisters


In view of God's mercy
To offer your bodies
As a living sacrifice


HOLY and pleasing to God--------
This is your true
And proper worship” Romans 12:1


May these four words
“I am the Lord”


SUSTAIN YOU
During your Easter walk
This Lent


SUSTAIN US O Lord==
This Easter and BEYOND


In Jesus' name
