Introduction
This Lent, we are joining forces with our friends at First United Methodist Church, Wadesboro, Calvary Episcopal Church, and First Baptist Church, Wadesboro to offer each congregation's unique perspective on the same overarching theme. That theme is: Pause; Ask; Listen. As part of this theme, we here at First Presbyterian are offering up a weekly opportunity to pause what we are doing to read a piece of scripture, ask a questions or two relating to our daily lives, and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit as a piece of music plays.
This week's reading comes from Psalm 107, which talks about confessing our sins to God so that we may be forgiven and healed from their effects on our lives.
Scriptures
Psalm 107: 17-22
Some were sick through their sinful ways
and because of their iniquities endured affliction;
18 they loathed any kind of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress;
20 he sent out his word and healed them
and delivered them from destruction.
21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
22 And let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices
and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.
Option 1
How have my own sinful ways made me "sick" or caused hardship in my life? (you have two song choices here)
