Greetings Mt. Vernon Family,

Ash Wednesday I began a sermon series entitled, “When God Uses All the Pieces.” The sermon I preached, “When God Uses our Rebellion” was the first in the series. Sunday, God willing I will preach “When God Uses Our Restlessness.” As we fast during this season of Lent, let us read, pray and reflect.

I have enclosed the following readings and questions to guide us through this seasons. Please read Psalm 46:10; Matthew 11:28-30; Luke 21:34, John 4:11-13; 6:35 and answer the following questions:

1. According to these scriptures, what does God say about restlessness and how should we confront it?

2. How does restlessness affect your relationships?

3. How does restlessness affect the way you see God and serve Him?

4. Name all the things that will be different when you truly rest in Jesus?

Make the following scriptures part of your daily devotion February 22-27.

Monday: Numbers 20:1-13

Tuesday: Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Wednesday: Romans 5:1-2

Thursday: Ephesians 2:14-18

Friday: Mark 8:11-13

Saturday: Philippians 4:6-7

Be Richly Blessed,

Pastor Deborah Giles
