Jesus Bread of Heaven – Devotional for Lent

When I was a boy I loved the smells coming from the kitchen when my mom baked bread. I could hardly wait for her to hand me a warm slice slathered with butter right from the oven. We need to ask ourselves if we are also longing to know God like that. Are we eager to come into His presence and receive a fresh word from Him each day? Now is the time to set our sights again to that first Easter morning when Mary came to the tomb and became the first one to see our risen Lord! Jesus Bread of Heaven includes a devotional reading for each day from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. As we begin Lent begin with your reading and then take time to pray and then listen to what God has to say. Only He can lead us through our problems and on to all that He has planned for us in life!

If you are looking for a devotional to read during lent; Jesus bread of Heaven is a daily reader that comes in both standard as well as large print. While this edition carries many of my classic Easter themed devotionals it also offers a fresh perspective on all we have experienced during the Covid-19 crisis, elections and craziness of this past year. Let’s refocus on Jesus, who gives us hope as we as we put our faith in Him and the miracle of Easter.

God’s Simple Plan

 
 
 
 God's Simple Plan

 Not silver or even a big heap of gold
 Not fancy homes
 Or just stuff that grows old
  
 Not applause and awards
 Or a wall full of trophies
 Saying, “You a great guy!”
 Turn waves to calm seas
  
 But the cry in the night by a babe in a manger
 Was God’s simple plan to deliver from danger
 And the cross and the nails
 And the spear and a crown
 And the stone rolled away 
 From the tomb 
 Before dawn

God’s Narrow Way

For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:14 ESV

It little counts how smooth the road

That leads the wrong direction

Or the beauty of the view from there

If it is a distraction

From following those nail scarred feet

To the place of resurrection

Where on tiptoe angels long

To catch a glimpse of Him

Who by His blood tore down the wall

That barred the way before

That straight and narrow holy path

That leads to Heaven’s door
