Word for the Week ~ Focus
Lent is a very appropriate time for each of us to ask ourselves, "How is God working out his purposes in my life? How do I cooperate with God in this? And how am I blocking or thwarting God's purposes?" When we stop to consider our spiritual lives, and take stock, as we traditionally do in Lent, it is better, I think, not to focus on ourselves but on God.
