Gen. 15:1-12; 17-18; Ps.27; Phil. 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom
shall I fear?”
In Abram’s deep and terrifying darkness, God then appeared as
a flaming torch. Light in the darkness. No matter how we make peace with the
dark, we will always greet the dawn with a sense of hope, a sense of relief, a
sense of joy. The word Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon lenct which, like the German Lenz,
means “spring”. It is related to “lengthen’, referring to the lengthening of
days. The survival of all agrarian cultures depends on the lengthening of days
to warm and light the soil and seed. In the lengthening of daylight is hope,
hope for life. In the days of Lent is hope, hope for new life.
O God, our shelter, you are our light, you are our
salvation, whom shall we fear? Amen
