One of the best resources I've come across in my pursuit to design creative, deep, meaningful worship is The Fellowship of United Methodist's in Music and Worship Arts. Every week they send out a devotion via email. If you would like to subscribe please let me know and I will hook you up! Here's one to help facilitate your devotional practice this week from Rev. Laurie Haller.


The Lenten Journey

A series of devotions for Lent 2012 

Journey 6
2 Corinthians 3:18

“And we all are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory...” (2 Corinthians 3:18, NIV)

Every step of a peregrination (a wandering journey in the Celtic tradition) is a cause for our hearts to burn with wonder and awe.

Traveling hopefully is often a better thing than to arrive. (Robert Louis Stevenson) You are God’s feet, wandering the earth in search of transformation and new life. Where are your places of resurrection? The highest mountain? The lake? Ground Zero? The homeless shelter? The communion table? The hospital bed? The angel you meet on the road? May you always find God there.

It has been a blessing to wander with you this Lent. Godspeed on the peregrinatio, and don’t forget your backpack!

Prayer
“O Lord Jesus Christ, yourself the way, the truth, and the life, grant to us who shall tread in your earthly footsteps a sense of awe, wonder and holiness.” (Prayer from Iona)
