A Reflection for Monday, February 23 by Rev. Kelly Johnston Lectionary reading for 2/23/2025:   Psalm 32; 1 Kings 19:1-8; Hebrews 2:10-18 Selected passage for reflection: 1 Kings 19:1-8  Read 1 Kings 19:1-8 NIV Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one

But the reality is, no matter the season, following God can be an exercise in perseverance, conviction, courage and fortitude.

Lent is a season of intentional reflection, lament, and preparation. Whether experiencing the joys of the mountain-top or looking to rest.
