Monday of Lent 2



MONDAY, MARCH 14, 2022                                            Scripture Reading: Exodus 33:1–6
Additional Scriptures: Psalm 105:1–42; Romans 4:1–12


Even though the Israelites had done wrong and were stiff necked and stubborn people. God still kept his promise that he gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But instead of leading the Israelites himself he sent an angel to lead them into the Promised Land.
God said that they were stiff necked people and that if he visited them they would be consumed. God wanted to see if they were repentant for being disobedient and told them to remove their ornaments as a sign of repentance.
Very often we too are stiff necked and go back on our commitment to God. However, God doesn’t treat us as we deserve but treats us with love and compassion. We should never take advantage of God’s mercy and grace. in this season of Lent we are urged to bring forth fruits worth of repentance. May the Lord move us so to will and to do His good pleasure. 
Let your Spirit, O Lord, come into the midst of us to wash us with the pure water of repentance, and prepare us to be always a living sacrifice to You; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.[2]
