"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God — what is good and acceptable and perfect."
- Romans 12:2 (NRSV)
This verse that Paul writes in his letter to the Romans is the essence of Lent. Make a sacrifice of the things of this world that are not necessary and use the space that is created in their absence to find the will of God in your life.
I have sacrificed lunch (even though I fell off the wagon yesterday, my birthday). I am using the time gained by not eating to write this blog. So, now, it's time to get discerning, I guess. Here's the point that keeps raring up in my mind right now. I think I know already what God wants me to do, in that the scriptures are a blueprint for that -- remember that the Bible is a handbook of interaction between spiritual and worldly affairs. Maybe the better question to ask at this point is "how can I do those things that God wants me to do better than ever before?"
