As we continue on our journey through the Lenten wilderness, follow Jesus as he lives his 40 days in the desert.
Be open to what emotions today’s illustration invokes for you, what details catch your eye, and consider why you might be affected by it in this way.
Then, to go deeper, if it’s helpful, contemplate each of the following questions, allowing time to fully answer each one:
“Turn these stones to bread.” What was the hungriest you’ve ever felt? How did it effect you – physically, emotionally, spiritually? Are you easily tempted to eat what you know you shouldn’t? What does it mean that we live in a very food-rich part of the world? Did you know food scarcity could soon become the number one human problem in the world? What must God think of the imbalance we have in the world? How does being satisfied nutritionally help you Never Give Up? Take time to offer thanks at each meal and even snacks today, being mindful of how it fulfills your body and life.
