Frontline Devotion for Friday, February 23, 2007 by Pastor Mike Martine
We have a lot of “turning” to do.
What is sometimes lost as we hear the Baptist’s cry to “repent,” or as we sing the hymns that remind us of Christ’s sacrifice, is that the call to “turn” is actually GOOD for us. We are being called, as we turn and walk with God, back to a life that is far healthier and joyful than the life our society promotes.
It is healthy to care about others. It is healthy to give a hoot about the world. It is healthy to embrace your own right to take care of yourself: mind, body, and spirit.
So, as we begin Lent and hear the cry of the “voice in the wilderness,” get ready to “turn.”
You owe it to God. You also owe it to yourself.
