Day 23: A New Covenant

A New Covenant © Jan L. Richardson

The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah….I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
—Jeremiah 31.31, 33b

From a lectionary reading for Lent 5: Jeremiah 31.31-34

Reflection for Monday, March 19 (Day 23 of Lent)

For tonight, simply this question, carried with me as Gary and I flew home from Denver:

Here, just past the halfway point of Lent; here, at this point in your life: What word needs to be written new upon your heart?

    Thank you for the image of words written on my heart by God. First trust comes to mind, then peace. Now behold. Next grace, then beauty…
