PRUMC Devotions

I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. –Psalm 118:21-22

Holy Savior,
You are, indeed, our salvation.

We repent that too often we seek salvation elsewhere. Like the builders in the Psalm, it is easy to overlook your stones. We become distracted by the shinier and bigger stones of the world. We forget that our foundation rests in you.

As we walk with Jesus towards Jerusalem, towards the cross, we are all too aware that we are like those who crucified him. We welcome him with waving palms, and then we turn around and deny knowing him.

Help us, this Lent, to keep you as our cornerstone. To build our lives upon your foundation: a foundation of mercy, humility, and grace. A foundation of forgiveness, courage, and wisdom.

Help us to center our lives in your goodness and share that cornerstone of goodness with a world in desperate need of a solid foundation.

Through your Spirit we pray,
Amen.
