“Lent Basics”

Psalm 37: 27, 28: “Depart from evil, and do good, so you will abide forever. For the Lord loves justice, and does not forsake His godly ones.” Just to keep us grounded, there is, indeed, a purpose for forsaking that baseless life we are often drawn back to. To abide forever is more than just hanging around, but to participate in God’s very life, and that’s what a just God brings to us when we depart from evil. He doesn’t forsake His saints! (the more accurate translation of ‘godly ones’)
