Season of Lent

 
I woke up this morning so excited that Lent Season starts today!  Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. The purpose of Lent is to set aside time for reflection on JESUS-his suffering, his sacrifice, his life, death, burial and resurrection.

Lent is observed for 40 days and will end this year on 7 April. Sundays are not counted in the 40 days because it commemorates the Resurrection. 40 days represent the time Jesus fasted and prayed while in the wilderness as he was preparing for his public ministry. 40 days is used several other times throughout the bible to show purification and preparation. For example Moses went to the mountain of the Lord in the Sinai wilderness and stayed there for 40 days and nights in prayer and fasting (Exodus 24:18). Elijah, after he was fed with bread from heaven, journeyed through the wilderness without any food for 40 days to the mountain of God (1 King 19:8).

As you are deciding what you are going to  fast from for the next 40 days remember that you are offering up a gift of sacrifice unto GOD. Ask yourself  if the gift that you offering to GOD is going to be pleasing to HIM. GOD is looking for a spiritual sacrifice during this time and on 7 April HE wants you to be spiritually stronger than you were today when you started Lent Season.

When I think about all that GOD has sacrificed for me I am excited about this season of fasting and prayer as it leads up to Resurrection Sunday.
