TODAY’S WORD…

.

We wait in hope for the Lord;

He is our help and our shield.

.

May Your unfailing love be with us, Lord,

even as we put our hope in You.

.

– Psalm 33:20,22 (NLT)

REFLECTION…

.

Today is the day we fall silent, sinking deeper into our prayers,

holding vigil through the night as we usher in the light of God.

.

Today is Holy Saturday,

the day when Jesus’ friends awoke with swollen eyes and aching heads;

the day when Jesus’ followers asked in bewilderment,

“What happened yesterday?”

.

Today is the day we wait.

.

Today we deeply reflect on the way we have lived our lives so far,

reflecting on where and in what we have displeased the Lord,

as we begin to understand “what happened yesterday”

and why it happened.

.

Today we wait in hope

for Him to redeem us,

to free us from our past,

to heal and change us,

to restore and renew us,

to bring us to a new place in our lives – closer to Him!

..

PRAYER…

.

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

Come, my Saviour, come.
