Forty

Matthew 4:1-2
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished.


Forty
Days of fasting for Jesus
Years in the wilderness
for the Israelites
Days of rain
for Noah and co 
Days of prophesying
for Jonah in Nineveh...
Days originally set apart
for those in quarantine
Times of healing and growth
Times of creativity and innovation
Times of learning and consolidation 
In this “Lentiest Lent that’s ever been Lented”
where have we borne witness to
and where have we contributed to
Healing
Growth
Creativity
Innovation
Learning
Consolidation
And how might we emerge
into the light
forever changed
and renewed
by our experience?
For the love of God.
