Just this morning in The Disciplines (UMC devotional) I read in the same passage how it is important to be ready for God to do the unexpected, ie. to use me in a way that seems out of step with whom I think I am, to be surprised and humbled that way. So thanks for the Lenten devotions. I look forward to them. I have been looking for a more recent set of devotions.

I appreciate your genuine voice which is conveyed through this devotional. Thanks for the exhortation to take in all that we can as we live out our own adventure with God. Wonderfully written, Mia!

Like the wind, the Spirit is not so predictable as we wish. Remember John 3:8 when thinking about how God moves in our midst. Like the wind, the Spirit is not so predictable as we wish.

That scripture in Romans was brought to a very clear understanding. Thanks for helping me have a good start to my day. A lot of good food for thought.

I stick very closely to the rules, often to the detriment of my spiritual life and my relationships with other people. That's something I'm also going to have to work on this Lent (and other times as well). So, I suppose we are in the same boat. Thank you for writing this!

That's how we can look at God's "laws." Rules and laws are themselves gracious provisions for a good life, such as “rules of the road” that allow us to get around efficiently and safely.
